Requirements for the Minor:

Six courses in biology, including:

Additional Requirements

The remaining courses must be selected from among those designated for credit toward the biology major. Students are cautioned that many upper-level biology courses require prerequisites (in biology or other science departments) beyond BIO 103 and BIO 104. Therefore, any student who contemplates a biology minor must register at the Biology Department Office and be assigned a departmental advisor. Biology has significant curricular overlap with the interdisciplinary majors that intersect with it (Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Environmental Science), therefore one cannot major in one of these interdisciplinary majors and minor in Biology. Students with majors outside Division III or in psychology may count one biology CC course toward the minor if it is their first course in the minor.
