Students may pursue the Biology minor by first meeting with a Biology professor to discuss their interests/goals with respect to earning the minor. The foundational requirements provide the fundamental physical and biological principles of the natural sciences, while the elective courses taken will focus the student into a concentration of Biology (health sciences, organismal, environmental, and cellular or molecular biology).
Degree Requirements

May be substituted with an approved upper division course if its counterpart has been taken; therefore taking BIOL 101 Life Science: The Human Environment disqualifies the individual from this choice.
Electives
A minimum of 16 semester hours of upper division BIOL courses are required. One upper division chemistry course may be substituted for one of the upper division Biology courses but is contingent on the completion of BIOL 314 Biochemistry.
