Revised NBB Requirements

There have been quite a few recent revisions to NBB requirements.  This document is intended to clarify those revisions and to whom they apply.  All courses that fulfill major requirements must be taken for a grade (no S/U).

• If you entered the Emory system (Oxford or Emory College) in the fall of 2011 or later, Biochemistry will no longer count as an NBB elective.
• If you entered the Emory system in the fall of 2012 or later, QTM100 is required for the major.
• If you declared NBB as your major in fall of 2013 or later,
• You must complete a total of 8 NBB electives, rather than the previous 5 that were required.
• Freshman seminars (NBB190 or NBB related seminars from other departments) will no longer count as NBB electives.
• NBB497 (Supervised Writing or Supervised Reading) will no longer count as NBB electives.
• Completion of 8 credits of any combination of NBB495 and NBB499 will count as two NBB electives.  Taking a total of 4 credits of any combination of NBB495 and NBB499 will no longer qualify as an NBB elective.

QTM100, This Class is now a required foundation course for NBB majors. (Incoming Freshmen class of 2016)

This course provides an introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics. It is designed as a gateway course, with emphasis on practice and implementation.  Algebra is the only prerequisite for the course.  The class consists of two weekly lectures and a lab session. The lectures introduce statistical concepts and theory, the lab session applies those lessons using statistical software.

“ In order to receive NBB elective credit, students must receive a passing grade in a  3 credit-hour NBB course, or in an approved (graded) graduate course (e.g. College Honors Program participants).  S/U credit hours are not counted as NBB electives.”

*  Any student who declares a major between now and the end of the summer will be grandfathered into the current requirements. Students who declare or change their major in Fall 2013 or later will be required to complete the new major requirements taking effect in Fall 2013*
