Department of Biological Sciences
The biology minor provides a well-balanced foundation in the core principles of biology, while allowing students to pursue more specific interests via upper-level elective courses. Required laboratory experiences reinforce biological concepts and teach critical research processes and skills. The biology minor is especially suitable for students who need a strong background in this discipline to pursue careers in such fields as biochemistry, biopsychology, or environmental science. Pre-medical or pre-dental students who major in disciplines other than biology are also encouraged to consider the biology minor.
