Minor Requirements in Biological Sciences
Students wishing to complete a minor in biological sciences must take a minimum of 19 hours of biology courses, at least nine of which must be completed at SIUE, with a GPA of 2.0 or higher in all biology courses attempted at SIUE. Due to the sequencing of courses, students are advised that it will normally take at least two years to complete the minor.
Courses must include the following: BIOL 150, 151, and 220 (a grade of C or better is required in each of these courses before proceeding to the next course).
The remaining hours may be completed with any course in biological sciences except 111, 491, 493 or 494. All the courses in this group have a chemistry prerequisite. Students who have completed BIOL 240A and 240B may use CHEM 120A/B and CHEM 124A/B in lieu of CHEM 121A/B and CHEM 125A/B for the BIOL minor; BIOL majors are required to complete CHEM 121A/B and CHEM 125A/B. Please consult the biology advisor for details.
