Minor in Biology
To fulfill the requirements for a Biology minor, students must complete 24 units.
All courses that count toward the minor must be completed with a grade equivalent of 2.00 or higher.
All Biology minors must complete minimum 12 units toward the minor at Towson University, with at least 6 of these units at the upper (300-400) level.

| Electives | ||
| An additional 12 units of electives must be chosen from the courses listed below. At least 6 of these units must be upper-level (300-400). The remaining 6 units may be lower-level or upper-level. When selecting coursework, please review the catalog descriptions carefully. Some electives may have prerequisites (including CHEM 131, CHEM 131L, CHEM 132 and CHEM 132L). These prerequisites must be taken, but they will not count toward the minor. | 12 | |
