THE BIOLOGY MINOR

Minor Requirements: Five courses in Biology, including Biology 25L or the equivalent, but not including advanced placement credit (Biology 19); the five courses may be selected from Biology 26L (A or B, formerly BIO 31L and BIO 32L) or any course numbered 100 or above in Biology. Of these, a minimum of three courses must be at the 100-level or above. These may include a maximum of one approved course of a basic biological character in a related department. For students matriculating Fall 2003 and after, a maximum of two independent study or tutorial courses may be counted toward the five courses. For students matriculating Fall 2005 and after, a maximum of one independent study or tutorial course may be counted toward the five courses. The director of undergraduate studies may approve other courses to satisfy these requirements.

For Areas of Concentration

Students may elect to complete the requirements for the minor in specified areas of concentration. Currently available areas in the biology minor are: animal behavior, cell and moelcular biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, genetics, marine biology, plant systematics. Completion of the requirements for an area of concentration will be noted on the student's transcript. For more information on the courses approved for each area of concentration see the director of undergraduate study.
