These curriculum requirements are ONLY for students who began their studies in Biology in Fall 2002 or later. If you began your Biology studies BEFORE Fall 2002, please go to the OLD curriculum requirements pages by clicking here.

A Minor in Biology is designed for students who wish to augment other majors such as psychology, engineering, chemistry, or illustration with a biological component.

Minor in Biology Requirements (20 credit hours)

INTRODUCTORY BIOLOGY (students with Advanced Placement may omit introductory courses)
8 required hours

BIO 121/123: General Biology I & II

SELECT ONE TO FOUR OF THE FOLLOWING (worth 3 credit hours each)
3-12 credit hours

BIO 326: Genetics and Cell Biology I (Fall)
BIO 327: Genetics and Cell Biology II (Spring)
BIO 345: Population Biology (Fall)
BIO 346: Physiological Ecology (Spring)

OTHER POSSIBLE COURSES

These can include any other 300 to 600 level Biology Department courses except those designated not for majors. However, many of these courses have prerequisites of BIO 326, BIO 327, BIO 345 or BIO 346, so those of the above four courses you take will influence others you can select as electives. BIO 460 (Research in Biology) may be used for a maximum of two credit hours toward a Minor in Biology.

By approval through a petition to the Biology Department, a maximum of six hours of 300 to 600 level courses related to Biology from other departments (for example, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Math, ESF) may be included as part of the elective requirement. Petitions can be obtained from the Undergraduate Secretary in Room 122 of Lyman Hall.

TOTAL BIOLOGY HOURS REQUIRED: 20
