The Biology and Microbiology majors are designated as impacted majors. All students who are admitted to SDSU and want to declare a biology major are placed in the Biology or Microbiology premajor. All premajors must meet department-specific criteria in order to declare a major, such as a specified minimum grade point average, completion of preparation for the major course requirements with qualifying grades, and satisfaction of the lower-division writing competency requirement. Students may not elect credit/no credit grading for course work needed to satisfy preparation for the major requirements.

Students should refer to the year in which they declared a major for official requirements. Visit www.sdsu.edu/impactedmajors for more information.
