The biology minor at ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is designed to provide undergraduate students with the rigorous coursework necessary for success in many fields of biological science. A minor in biology is a great complement to an environmental science major, chemistry major or psychology major. As a ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï biology student, you will gain hands-on experience with some of the advanced technology you'll eventually encounter on the job or in graduate school. You will take courses taught by dedicated teaching faculty, never graduate students, in small classes, all designed to aid the development of your academic portfolio.
An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
