Biology Minor

The Biology minor ( MBIO)  allows students with an interest in biology applications and/or research to supplement their major with a foundation in the biological sciences and the potential for participating in interdisciplinary research-based projects.

To earn the minor, students must pass two core courses, an intermediate level course, and two elective courses. At least one of the minor courses must be a research-based directed study.
