Elective (4 hours)

Students should select any additional four-hour biology course at or above the 200-level.
Note: Students cannot use classes required for their major to fulfill this minor.  In particular, several Biology classes count towards the Exercise Science major, so minoring in biology would require taking additional classes.

Total Credit Hours: 16

Note: Due to overlap in course requirements, this minor is not suitable for Biology (either general or biomedical track) or Biochemistry majors.
