Minor Requirements

Students not majoring in biology may graduate with a minor in biology if they complete 18 credits distributed as follows: 8 credits of Bio 101 and 102 with lab, and 10 credits, excluding 120:105, from among the other offerings in the Biological Sciences (subject areas 120, 130, 680, 760, 780 and 990). A minimum of 6 credits must be at the 300 to 400 level (excluding 50:120:491, 492).

Transfer students who want to minor in biology at Rutgers-Camden, but who have fulfilled all the requirements for this minor elsewhere, must take a minimum of two courses from among the offerings of this biological sciences department at the 300 level and above. A student is free to design his or her own minor program from among the courses listed under the biological sciences.

Furthermore, a nonmajor who takes the 18 required credits in botany may graduate with a minor in botany; a student taking 18 credits in zoology may minor in zoology.

Biology majors also have the option of minoring in botany or zoology, but no course may be counted both as part of a complete 18 credits in a botany or zoology minor and to the 40 biology credits which count toward the major.
