Science Minors - Two and Three

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

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 two- or three-science minor, nor are student who are majoring in applied health sciences, biochemistry, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, environmental science, environmental health and safety, health sciences, industrial health and safety, medical physics, nursing, physical therapy or physics.

Note

Biology and chemistry courses numbered lower than BIO 1200 and CHM 1440 , respectively, do not apply to the science minors, nor do CHM 2010 , CHM 3000 and BIO 3000 .
