The Biology minor provides students with a foundational understanding of biological principles, including the study of living systems, organismal diversity, and fundamental processes such as genetics, evolution, and ecology. Through coursework that emphasizes scientific inquiry, data analysis, and laboratory experience, students develop skills in observation, critical thinking, and the application of scientific methods. The minor complements a wide range of majors and prepares students for roles that require scientific literacy, as well as for further study in biology or related fields.
