Minors are a secondary area of academic focus.

This can be helpful if you have several areas you'd like to study but don't want to double major. A biology minor degree can complement your main course of study by enhancing the value of your major, helping you to find an area of specialization within your major. Or, your minor can just be something you really enjoy and want to know more about. Some degrees require a minor.

The biology minor degree curriculum provides knowledge about how organisms function and how life exists in the world. You’ll complete a minimum of 21 biology minor required credit hours.
