Minor Policies

Students minoring in Biology should seek assistance in planning their program of study with an advisor in the department. Transfer students must take a minimum of 8 biology credits at Edgewood College for a minor. Students with specific goals for careers or post-graduate study may be advised to take some courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison through Edgewood College’s Collaborative Program.

A student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or higher in ALL Biology courses used to fulfill the minor requirements (courses listed on Degree Audit). Only Biology, Chemistry or Math courses in which the student receives a grade of CD or better will be accepted toward the minor.
