The goal of the Minor in Biology Program is to provide non-Biology majors with a broad training in the life sciences. This includes not only a mastery of the relevant
facts, but also an ability to think critically, design and perform experiments, draw appropriate conclusions from data, an communicate results using both the spoken and written word.
To
this end, students minoring in Biology will take a total of 8 courses, 6 in Biology and 2 in chemistry. All Biology Minors must take the following courses:
Common Core for Biology Minors:
Three Upper - Level Biology Electives:
Student must take courses at the Bio 2000 or higher level from at least 2 of the three groups (Group A: Cellular and Sub-Cellular, Group B: Organismal, Group C: Super-Organismal).
Students interested in pursuing the Minor in Biology should speak with Dr. Christina King Smith,
Associate Professor and Advising Coordinator of the Biology Department. You can reach her via e-mail at csmith@sju.edu or by phone at (610)660-1118. Ideally students should begin course work in the minor by the Sophomore year in order to ensure adequate time for completion.
