(For course listings for Biology see the Schedule of Classes)
A minor in Biology requires a minimum of nineteen credits in Biology. Foundations in Biology I (BIOL 1203 and BIOL 1213) and Foundations in Biology II (BIOL 1204
and BIOL 1214) are required (these may also be fulfilled via the summer equivalents of these courses, BIOL 1205/BIOL 1215 and BIOL 1206/BIOL 1216, respectively). BIOL 4950 (Research Tutorial) may be counted towards the minor, but BIOL 4951 and BIOL 4952 (Research Intensive Senior Experience RISE) or BIOL 4997 (Continuing Research) may not be. Courses numbered BIOL 1000-1199, which are intended to satisfy the Science for All requirement, do not count for the minor. Courses numbered in the 2000s, which explore interdisciplinary connections with biology, similarly do not count for the minor. Credit for AP Biology, AP Environmental Science, or IB Biology cannot be applied toward the Biology minor. One Biology course taken abroad may count toward the minor.
