Any matriculating Nazareth College undergraduate with an interest in biology may declare a Biology minor. This minor gives students an introduction to each of the three levels of biological investigation: the cell/molecular level, the organismal level, and the ecological level. Students can choose electives that fit with their areas of interest. Three introductory biology courses and two upper level electives are required for this minor, with a minimum of 18 credits.

All biology department courses for the minor must be completed with a grade of C- or better to satisfy the program requirements.
