Course Requirements

A minor in biology consists of a minimum of 18 hours of biology courses applicable for major-minor credit (see course descriptions) and must include Bisc 160, 161, 162, and 163. Bisc 322, 330, and 336 are recommended. No more than two nonlaboratory courses may be counted. Directed Study (Bisc 491), seminars, and nonmajor courses do not satisfy minor requirements.

Other Academic Requirements

Every biology course requires a grade of C or better in all prerequisite courses, including those prerequisite courses from other departments (except for Bisc 104/105, which require passing grades in Bisc 102/103). For example, Bisc 160 and 161 must be passed with a grade of C or better before Bisc 162 or 163 may be taken. In addition, Bisc 160, 161, 162, and 163 must be passed with a grade of C or better before any additional biology courses at the 300 level or above is attempted.
