Biology Minor Requirements: 6 courses, 22-24 credits
Core Requirements (2 courses with corresponding laboratories, 8 credits)
Electives (4 courses with corresponding laboratories where applicable, 14-16 credits)
The following courses will NOT count toward a minor in Biology because they are non-major's courses. Choose any Biology course except:
| BIO-104 | Environmental Biology | 3 |
| BIO-L104 | Environmental Biology Lab | 1 |
| BIO-105 | Humans and the Evolutionary Perspective | 4 |
| BIO-H105 | Honors Humans and the Evolutionary Perspective | 4 |
| BIO-201 | Biology's Big Questions | 4 |
| BIO-H201 | Honors Biology's Big Questions | 4 |
Notes:
- BIO-503, BIO-H503, BIO-510, BIO-H510 must be taken for a minimum of 3 credits to count as a minor elective. These courses require approval of an internship or research proposal.
- Students in the Honors program have the option of completing the Honors version of the course instead.
Residency Requirement Policy: In the College of Arts and Sciences, a two-course (8 credit) residency requirement must be satisfied for completion of a minor and a four-course (16 credit) residency requirement must be satisfied for the completion of a major.
Minor Programs Policy: A student declaring a minor may use no more than two courses from a major or double major combination to fulfill the requirements for the minor. No more than one course from one minor may count toward the fulfillment of a second minor. Students may not minor in a subject in which they are also completing a major. For more information, see the Minor Programs section of the CAS Degree Requirements page.
