Biology Minor

A Biology minor consists of 18 upper-level BIOL credits (i.e. 3xx or 4xx level courses) and the lower-level prerequisites required to take the upper-level courses.  Biology minor students are not permitted to take any of the restricted biology laboratory selections (i.e. BIOL 306, 326, 331, 337, 340, 341, 351, 352, 363, 402, 403, 404, or 437). No more than 6 upper-level credits that count toward the specialization requirements of the student’s major or honours may be double-counted to fulfill the requirements of the minor.
