Biology Minor
Requirements
A minor in biology requires a minimum of 21 semester credit hours. All courses counted toward a minor in biology must be applicable toward a major in biology. Students may not earn a Biology minor and a Molecular and Biomedical Biology major.
Students majoring in neuroscience, psychology, bioinformatics, or environmental science with a concentration in life science may not count any upper-division biology courses toward both disciplines.
Required hours include:
Code | Title | Credits |
---|---|---|
BIOL 1450 | BIOLOGY I | 5 |
BIOL 1750 | BIOLOGY II | 5 |
BIOL 2140 | GENETICS | 4 |
or BIOL 3340 | ECOLOGY | |
In addition, at least 7 credit hours of courses at the 3000- or 4000-level are required. At least one of the 3000- or 4000-level courses must have a laboratory; BIOL 3340 (Ecology) may not be used to fill this requirement. Students transferring biology credits are required to take a minimum of two 3000- or 4000-level biology courses at UNO. | 7 | |
