The minor in Biology prepares students to:

  • Articulate and explain principles of cell and molecular biology, organismal biology, ecology, and evolution, 
  • Apply the scientific process and prepare written reports that analyze and evaluate results of scientific investigation,
  • Perform laboratory techniques that assess scientific problems, 
  • Examine and evaluate the primary scientific literature, 
  • Apply principles of social awareness and responsibility to investigations in the life sciences.
