Our program provides a broad base in biology with the option for the students to pursue elective courses within their interests. The minor in Biology also complements a wide variety of disciplines. Students in many other fields, including marketing, government and international politics, or law, will find that biology is not only rewarding, but also useful in their professional careers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Total Credit Hours: 20<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A.
