Biology Minor
To complete a minor in biology, a minimum of 22 credits must be taken in biology. In addition to the 8 credits of required course work, students must take a minimum of 14 additional biology credits in 2000 level courses or above. The student can expect to take three academic years to complete the minor, because many upper level biology courses are offered on a two-year cycle.
