Such a program must be arranged before the start of a student's fifth semester. The only formal limitation on this approach to the major is that it include at least five courses in biology to meet minimum Trinity College requirements. The Interdepartmental Major A student may pursue an interdepartmental major program between biology and a related department in Trinity College. The program is designed by the student and faculty advisors and must be approved by the director of undergraduate studies in both departments. An interdepartmental major consists of ten courses, at least four of which must be at the 100 level or above in each of the two departments.
Eligible seniors apply through the director of undergraduate studies in Biology.
