	Students seeking a minor in Biology have two options: (1) a minor in biology, and (2) a minor in molecular biology and biochemistry. Students will be required to complete either: General Biology I and II sequence (BIOL 101, 102, 111, 112) or Introduction to Biology I and II sequence (BIOL 130, 131, 140, 141). A minimum of 12 additional credit hours is required for the minor degree.

	Minor in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry The Departments of Biology and Chemistry offer a joint minor in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry. This minor will be beneficial to students interested in careers in medicine, dentistry, and other health science fields as well as those who wish to pursue careers in the chemical and biochemical industry. Active learning exercises, use of scientific literature, computer modeling, inquiry-based laboratories, and research are important components of the courses in the sequence. Requirements for the minor vary slightly depending on the student's major. The following courses are prerequisites for the minor: BIOL 130/131 and 140/14 1; CHEM 151/161, 152/162, 207/217, and 208/218.
