Biological Science Minor
Course Requirements
A minor in biological science consists of a minimum of 18 hours of biology courses, including:
| Code | Title | Hours |
|---|---|---|
| BISC 1600 | Biological Sciences I | 3 |
| BISC 1610 | Biological Sciences I Laboratory | 1 |
| BISC 1620 | Biological Sciences II | 3 |
| BISC 1630 | Biological Sciences II Laboratory | 1 |
| Biology courses at the 3000 level or above 1 | 10 | |

- 1
BISC 3220 General Ecology, BISC 3300 Principles of Physiology, and BISC 3360 Genetics are recommended.
No more than two nonlaboratory courses may be used to satisfy minor requirements. BISC 1500 Principles of Biological Science, BISC 4920 Directed Study in Biological Sciences II, seminars, and nonmajor courses do not satisfy minor requirements.
Other Academic Requirements
Every biology course requires a grade of C or better in all prerequisite courses, including those prerequisite courses from other departments. For example, BISC 1600 Biological Sciences I and BISC 1610 Biological Sciences I Laboratory must be passed with a grade of C or better before BISC 1620 Biological Sciences II or BISC 1630 Biological Sciences II Laboratory may be taken. In addition, BISC 1600 Biological Sciences I, BISC 1610 Biological Sciences I Laboratory, BISC 1620 Biological Sciences II, and BISC 1630 Biological Sciences II Laboratory must be passed with a grade of C or better before any additional biology courses at the 3000 level or above is attempted.
