Students interested in a minor in biology should develop a plan for the minor in consultation with an advisor in the Biology Advising Center. Students completing the minor in biology must provide the biology advisor with an electronic submission of a transcript or transfer evaluation that shows any transfer courses that may be applied to the minor.
At least 16 credits of biology applied to the minor must be taken at the University of Oregon.
Course work must be completed with grades of P or C– or better.
