Minor - Biology

Students must complete 15-18 hours of Biology-related course work with at least 12-16 hours of upper-division Biology course work. The program must include courses from at least two different departments, including Biology. Only 4 hours of research can count towards the 12-16 hours in the Biology minor. A minimum grade of "C" (2.0) is required in the 12-16 hours of Biology course work. None of the upper-level Biology courses can be used to fulfill both a Major and Minor Requirement, nor can they be used to fulfill two different Minor program's requirements. All upper-level Biology courses must be taken in residence. The remaining required hours may be biology-related courses taken in Core Area VI.

Students must choose any course from the following prefixes:
BCMBBIOL (except ENTO(EHSC) 3590-3590L), CBIO (except IDIS(CBIO) 3100), ECOL (except ENTO(EHSC) 3590-3590L), GENE, MIBO (MIBO 3500 and higher), PBIO
Or any of the following ENTO, MARS, PSYC, or VPHY courses:
ANTH(BIOL)(ECOL)(ENTO)(PBIO) 4260/6260-4260L/6260L 4
BCMB(ENTO)(BTEC) 4200/6200 3
