A Minor in Biology consists of the successful completion of 18 semester hours of biology courses with a grade of  C- or better with the following exceptions: BIO 3, 4, 25, 50, 103, 105, 106, 123, 125, 140 and 162. At least 6 hours must be taken in residence.

Non-Majors Interested in Medical Careers

Students who are interested in medical professions who are not majoring in biology (including post-baccalaureate pre-medical students) should take BIO 11  and 12 . Other courses may be required to meet the prerequisites for a particular program. It is strongly recommended that students interested in medical professions seek advisement from the pre-medical advisers in the Department of Biology  and in the Premedical/Prehealth Professional Studies Office in the University Advisement office.
