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).<\/p>\n \n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n\t\t

Electives<\/h3>\n

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\u00a0314<\/span> Biochemistry<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-36","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nMinoring
