Minor in Microbiology

The Minor in Microbiology degree provides an opportunity for students to supplement their major in another discipline with acknowledged course work in the biological sciences.  Prerequisite requirements are usually required for upper level course work and must be fulfilled before the courses can be taken.  Biology major courses may be repeated only a limited number of times including late withdrawals.    

Degree/Certificate Requirements

Core Program

Course requirements include at least 20 credit hours of either lecture or lab courses in the biological sciences.  The 20 credit hours may include no more than one introductory biology course such as BIOL-L 101, BIOL-L 102, PLSC-B 101, or ZOOL-Z 103.
