Upper-Division Bioscience Courses

Course Equivalency

To better reflect the diversity of Biology coursework offered at UT Austin, most upper-division Biology courses will be listed under the fields of Integrative Biology (INB) or Molecular Biosciences (MBS) rather than Biology (BIO) beginning with the Fall 2024 course schedule. Students and advisors should look for the new INB and MBS course numbers when planning for the Fall 2024 semester and beyond.

Course Frequency

Many Bioscience courses are offered each semester, but some options that fulfill degree requirements are offered on a fall-only or spring-only basis. Other options may not be taught regularly. 

The following chart is meant to be used as a guide for academic planning only and is not a guarantee of future course offerings. Students are encouraged to be in regular contact with their assigned advisor about their degree progress. Please check UT Course Schedules for course availability.
