REQUIREMENTS FOR THE BIOLOGY MINOR

All students desiring a Minor in Biology must go to the Biology Student Affairs Office, Jeanette Goldfarb 105, to obtain the necessary permission and instructions. Instructions should be obtained as early as possible, preferably before the student has taken any courses in biology. Supervising Staff: Jessica Ochoa, Jeanette Goldfarb 105, x5-6881, e-mail: jochoa@biology2.wustl.edu

REQUIRED INTRODUCTORY COURSES

The Biology Minor requires two introductory courses in Biology (Biol 2960 and Biol 2970) and at least three courses in Chemistry (Chem 111A, 112A and 251). Chem 111A must be completed prior to enrollment in Biol 2960. Chem 112A must be taken concurrently with or prior to Biol 2960 and must be completed prior to enrollment in Biol 2970.
