Qualifications for the 5-year program for incoming freshmen:

• A minimum ACT composite score of 26, with a minimum of 22 in each section, and a minimum of 23 in the Mathematics section.  Or minimum SAT scores: 560 Mathematics, 560 ERW, and 1230 combined.
• With ACT/SAT scores above: a high school grade point average of 3.4 overall on a 4.0 point scale, and the same for the combined mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology courses.
• Without ACT/SAT scores: a high school grade point average of 3.6 overall on a 4.0 point scale, and the same for the combined mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology courses.
• Students must place into appropriate-level freshmen courses at Detroit Mercy in order to be able to complete both the bachelor and master degrees in five years.

Qualifications for the 5-year program for current students:

• Students with a GPA of 3.25 may apply any time after they have completed at least 30 credits in the program. Advising discussions should begin in the freshman year; calculus and some ENGR courses should be taken early in the program.
• Students should be on track to complete their undergraduate degree in four years. (Students who may take longer should consult with their financial aid counselor and be aware the time to complete both degrees may extend more than five years.)

Additional Information:

If accepted into the program, students may take up to nine graduate credits in their fourth year that will count towards both undergraduate and graduate requirements.

In their fifth year, after completing the bachelor's degree, students should register as full-time graduate students, which requires registration of at least nine graduate credits per term.These courses will be charged at the graduate tuition rate.

To remain in the program, undergraduate students must maintain a minimum 3.25 GPA at Detroit Mercy and be progressing steadily toward graduation.

• Reduction in the total number of courses and possibly less time required to get both the bachelor and master degrees (students may count nine credits towards both undergraduate and graduate requirements)
• Ability to take up to nine graduate credits at the undergraduate tuition rate

The graduate courses, taken during the undergraduate program that can also be applied toward the undergraduate degree requirements, must be approved by your academic advisor. Students must receive a grade of "C" or better in order to earn credit towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees.

In order to qualify to take graduate credit in the fifth year, students must complete the mathematics and engineering courses listed below, by the end of the fourth year.

Biology students wishing to pursue the Master of Environmental Engineering program who are not in the 5-year program may seek admission into the MEnvE on condition of completing the mathematics and engineering courses below before taking graduate coursework.

Core Curriculum Requirements

In addition to the courses required for this program listed above, the student must also fulfill the requirements of the University Core Curriculum for this program. Some of these courses may be satisfied by courses in your program.  Consider courses that count for more than one core attribute. Please review your Degree Evaluation or consult your academic advisor for more information.

Please review the catalog page for BS Biology for the concentration in Biology Research.
