Program Overview

Students who study biology primarily in support of another major, or to fulfill pre-health career requirements while pursuing a non-biology major, may formalize their study with a biology minor.

Advising

Biology faculty advisors are assigned to students at the time of major or minor declaration. While many students actually complete the biology minor requirements before they formally declare it, the assigned advisor is nonetheless available as a biology curriculum resource. Please contact the undergraduate coordinator for the Department of Biology for information about major or minor declaration.

Undergraduate Policies

For undergraduate policies and procedures, please review the Undergraduate Academics section of the General Bulletin.

Program Requirements

The Biology Minor requires 16 credit hours of biology courses at the 200-level or higher, which must include any two of the three biology core lectures with their associated laboratories (8 credit hours).
