The biology department also offers a minor. Students declaring a minor in biology will learn the basic concepts of biology, including cellular processes, evolution and organism diversity, and interactions between organisms and their environment. These concepts are introduced in the required Foundations of Biology survey courses (BIOL 121 and 122). After completing these foundational courses, students will then select 12 additional credit hours of biology coursework based on their interests and/or career goals.
