A minor must contain at least 9 hours of upper division course work. Courses taken to satisfy Core Areas I through V may not be counted as course work in the minor. Courses taken in Core Area VI may be counted as course work in the minor.
A minor in Microbiology can add competence in logic, critical analysis, and effective writing to the specialized knowledge offered by your major.
