In addition to completing the general education curriculum requirements, students pursuing a minor in Biology must complete the following program requirements:
- BIOL 1107, 1107 L, 1108, and 1108 L or BIOL 2148 and 2149; A C- or better is required in these courses to declare the biology major or minor and to enroll in upper level biology courses. These courses fulfill PG2, Laboratory Science and the Natural World, of the Ethos Curriculum.
- Choice of one (1) cellular-level biology course (BIOL 3321, 3322, 3360, 3370, 3372, 3373, 3374, 3376)
- Choice of one (1) organismal-level biology course (BIOL 3334, 3335, 3336, 3340, 3351, 3353, 3384)
- Two (2) additional upper-level biology courses (one of these courses may be CHEM 4421 or CHEM 4422). If BIOL 1107, 1107L, 1108, and 1108L are used as the PG2 requirement in the Ethos Curriculum, either BIOL 2148 or 2149 may satisfy one of the required courses in this section. BIOL 4470 and BIOL 4496 do not satisfy this requirement.
- All courses must be completed with a C- or better.
This represents 16 semester hours of coursework in addition to the Ethos requirements.
No more than one approved upper-level course taken as a transient student at another institution may fulfill one of the biology major courses. All BIOL courses and CHEM 4421 and 4422 must be completed with a grade of C- or better to fulfill graduation requirements and to fulfill prerequisite requirements for other courses.
