Minor in Biology

Students pursuing a minor in Biology must complete the following program requirements:
  • BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L or BIOL 2148 and 2149; A C- or better is required in these courses to declare the biology major and to enroll in upper level biology courses.  These courses fulfill the Laboratory Science requirement of the Core Curriculum or PG2, Laboratory Science and the Natural World of the Ethos Curriculum. 
  • Choice of one (1) cellular-level biology course (BIOL 3321, 3322, 3360, 3370, 3372, 3373, 3374, 3376)
  • Choice of one (1) organismal-level biology course (BIOL 3334, 3335, 3336, 3340, 3351, 3353, 3384)
  • Two (2) additional upper-level biology courses (one of these courses may be CHEM 4421 or CHEM 4422). If BIOL 1107, 1107L, 1108, and 1108L are used as the Laboratory Science requirement in the Core Curriculum, either BIOL 2148 or 2149 may satisfy one of the required courses in this section. BIOL 4470 and BIOL 4496 do not satisfy this requirement.
  • All courses must be completed with a C- or better

This represents 16 semester hours of coursework in addition to the general education requirements.
