Science Minor

Coordinator: Kathleen H. Moore (College of Arts and Sciences)

The liberal arts minor in science requires at least 27 credits for the two-science minor, or 29 credits for the three-science minor, selected from courses in biological sciences, chemistry and physics.

Students who elect a single discipline minor in either biology, chemistry or physics are not eligible for the science minor, nor are students who are majoring in biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, environmental science, industrial health and safety, medical physics, medical technology, nursing, physical therapy or physics.

Two-science minor

1. Complete at least two of the following course sequences

BIO 111 - Biology (4) Credits
BIO 113 - Biology (4) Credits and
BIO 116 - Biology Laboratory (1) Credits
or
CHM 157 - General Chemistry I (5) Credits and
CHM 158 - General Chemistry II (5) Credits
or
CHM 167 - Honors General Chemistry I (5) Credits and
CHM 168 - Honors General Chemistry II (5) Credits
or
PHY 101 - General Physics I (4) Credits and
PHY 102 - General Physics II (4) Credits and

(2)
or
PHY 151 - Introductory Physics I (4) Credits and
PHY 152 - Introductory Physics II (4) Credits and
PHY 158 - General Physics Laboratory (2) Credits

2. Complete at least 8 additional credits from either one science or split between the two sciences.

Note

Biology and chemistry courses numbered lower than BIO 111 and CHM 157 , respectively, do not apply to the science minor, nor do CHM 201 , CHM 300 and BIO 300 .
