The minor in biology may be pursued by any student with an interest in the natural sciences. The 19–20 credit curriculum offers a broad background in the origin, growth, structure, and reproduction of living matter in its various forms.

Minors are focused programs of study, which involve specific clusters of courses around a general area of study. They are not associated with any particular degree program and are open to all interested students.
