The Biology Minor

Undergraduate students majoring in other academic fields may earn a minor in biology by completing 20 semester credit hours in the following courses.

Required Courses (8 SCH):

Course #	Course Title	SCH
BIOL 1406	Biology I (may be included in the University Core)	4
BIOL 1407	Biology II (may be included in the University Core)	4

Electives (12 SCH)—students select three courses from the following:

Course #	Course Title	SCH
BIOL 2416	Genetics	4
BIOL 2421	Microbiology	4
BIOL 3410	Cell Biology	4
BIOL 3413	Invertebrate Zoology	4
BIOL 3414	Vertebrate Biology	4
BIOL 3428	Principles of Ecology	4

Alternative junior- or senior-level biology courses may be used to satisfy the minor requirements with prior approval of the Chair of the Department of Life Sciences. At least six hours must be upper-level biology courses, and biology courses for non-science majors cannot be used to fulfill the biology minor.

Important Note: Laboratory Safety Seminar (SMTE 0091) is a co-requisite course for all courses in the Department of Life Sciences that have a laboratory component.
