Concentrations and Minors

Biology Minor (24 hours)

The Biology minor requires 24 hours as follows: BIO 121; 322; 12 additional hours of Biology courses or SCI 112 except BIO 101, 102, 110, 111, 391, 481, 482, 491, 492, 495, or 499 (see note on BIO 101); and CHE 113 (as a prerequisite for BIO 322). A student cannot count both SCI 112 and BIO 114 toward the minor.  A student who receives a "B" or better grade in BIO 101 or 130 may use that course to fulfill the BIO 121 requirement.

Environmental Science Minor

For Non-Biology Majors (24 hours)
An Environmental Science minor requires 24 hours (including 8 hours applicable to the Core) as follows: BIO 121, 122, 201, CHE 113, and SCI 110, 112.  Any two of these courses fulfill core requirements for laboratory science.  For BIO 121, students may substitute Biology 101 with a grade of "B" or better. Environmental Science students are also recommended to take BIO 322, 402, 431; and CHE 114.

For Biology Majors (12 hours)
Three courses (12 hours) are required beyond the Biology major: BIO 402 and 431 (one must be used for the Biology major) as well as SCI 110 and 112.
