One credit in this area may be satisfied by an additional credit of research beyond that required for the B.A. Students completing an Honors project may count one credit of BIOL 400.
• At least one credit, and up to three, from approved courses in the natural sciences or mathematics outside of biology; the following courses are pre-approved:

Requirements for the minor 

6 credits as follows: 

• Two introductory courses from: BIOL 110, BIOL 120, BIOL 130
• BIOL 210 or other methods/statistics course (STAT 200, PHYS 241, ANSO 301, PS 230)
