Biology Minor
Fascinated by the study of living things? Consider a minor in biology. This is a common minor for students who are majoring in chemistry, but it can be combined with any major outside of the biological sciences program.
Participating in the biology minor program enables you to select the same interesting courses and learn from the same expert faculty-scientists as biology majors do with a minimum of 20 credits. It also allows you to perform laboratory research and even participate in a field experience.
