A minor in Biology is available to students pursuing a major in another discipline. A minor consists of a minimum of 24 credits in the discipline, with at least six credits at the first year level and at least six credits at the upper year level. Cross-coded and cross-listed courses may count towards the minor if they have not been used elsewhere to complete program requirements. A minimum grade of 60 % is required in the introductory course(s) presented for the minor. |
