Any matriculating Nazareth University 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. Two introductory biology courses and three upper level electives are required for this minor, with a minimum of 18 credits.

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

The following courses (8 credit hours) are required for a Biology minor. Students typically progress through BIO.Q 103/103L and BIO 104/104L. However, students have the option of completing BIO 210  /BIO 210L  and BIO 211  /BIO 211L  in place of BIO 104/104L.
