The Interdisciplinary Education and Action Program is a new University requirement and is in addition to the other University requirements. It applies to students entering USD in Fall 2000 and subsequent semesters. This four-course sequence is intended to provide students with a comprehensive introduction to the Principles of Biology. Each course will be accompanied by a weekly laboratory in which investigative, critical thinking, writing, and quantitative skills will be emphasized. Students must receive a C grade or better in each of these courses.
Several courses meet both lab and writing course requirements.
Courses must include at least one from the Ecology Group and one from the Diversity Group. Several courses meet lab, writing, and either botany or zoology course requirements.
