General Requirement

20 credits of coursework in biology, 12 credits of which must be at the 300-level or above. Students with 8 AP credits for Introductory Biology must take a minimum of 15 credits of graded courses for the minor.

Course Requirements

Additional Elective Courses

Additional 300- to 500-level elective courses to meet the 20 credits must be chosen to augment the interest of the student.
