At least six of these units must be upper division majors' courses and at least one of thoses must be a majors' course with laboratory. Colloquium (Biol 390, 1 unit) may be counted once within the minor.

All courses applied to the biology minor must be taken under the traditional grading mode (A - F), Biol 390 excepted.
