	^Course numbers occasionally change; the catalog should be referred to for the current requirement. 1Humanities 1A-B-C or its alternative, the lower division writing requirement of the breadth requirement (Category I) and an approved three-quarter series of courses in the humanities or art history are School requirements. See Biological Sciences Student Affairs for a list of approved courses. ^2Approved satellite courses and laboratory research courses will include those presented by MB&B faculty as well as faculty in other Depts of the School of Biological Sciences, School of Medicine, and Dept. of Chemistry that cover appropriate areas of emphasis. A current listing of such courses is provided in Appendix I. This list will be updated and maintained in Biological Sciences Student Affairs.
