In addition to the Major Sequence requirements, a Biology Major must also complete a minimum of 4 courses, at least one course from each of three sub-discipline categories listed below. At least two of those courses, each from a different category, must include a laboratory component. For some courses, determined by the Instructor, the laboratory component must be taken concurrently with the lecture component. A course may be used to satisfy a single requirement in only one category even though the course may be cross-listed in another category.

MINOR SEQUENCE REQUIREMENTS — MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
The Molecular Biology Minor is an interdisciplinary approach to meeting the demands and challenges of a new era in Biology, made possible by new techniques used to manipulate and study genetic material, which has offered new practical applications in virtually every area of biological science. The Molecular Biology Minor enables Biology Majors to become active practitioners in the field of Molecular Biology, enhancing their qualifications for post-baccalaureate opportunities in academic, health professions and industry settings.
