Biology Minor

Requirements for a Minor in Biology

The following courses are required for the Biology Minor and must be taken for a letter grade (except for course, course or course, which are pass/no pass): course, course and course , course or course or course and two upper-division laboratory or field courses in biology.

With permission from the department chair, a student may receive credit toward the minor for one upper-division course completed at another Claremont college or in a study abroad program. Upper-division biology courses taken to fulfill the requirement of any major cannot also be used for the biology minor.

First-year Students
The department recommends that students interested in pursuing a major or minor in biology take the courses listed below in the first year.

This first-year schedule is also desirable for students contemplating majors in molecular biology, neuroscience or biology/public policy analysis.
