The Biology Minor provides students with core biological and chemistry coursework. The Biology Minor is appropriate for students who are majoring in another discipline but plan to attend a graduate program in healthcare or those students who have interdisciplinary biologically related career interests.
Minor Requirements
A minimum GPA of 2.0 is required in all courses used to satisfy the minor.
Grades below \"C\" (2.0) in each course are not accepted in the minor.
At least 13 hours used in the minor must be taken at UCF within the Department of Biology. If courses are not taken at UCF, student must take upper-level (3000/4000) biology department electives to complete the residency requirement.
Not available to Biology majors.
Prerequisite Courses
Students must satisfy each course's prerequisites before enrolling in the class.
