Biology Minor
Minor in Biology
The Minor in Biology provides students with the opportunity to gain additional knowledge and skills in biology, and at the same time, provide additional options for students still wishing to have an emphasis in another field of science (e.g. chemistry). This Minor is also intended to provide students with additional qualifications, thereby enhancing their options in science-related careers and graduate studies, particularly in fields such as biotechnology and the environmental sciences.
