Explore the major concepts in the biological sciences with a minor in Biology. You will gain hands-on experience through lab projects and a diverse knowledge of many areas of biology through course offerings in topics such as marine biology, human anatomy and physiology, microbiology, genetics, environmental science, botany, parasitology, ecology, and biotechnology. Students have a wide range of flexibility in choosing courses and areas of specialization within the minor.
