BIO-MIN - Biology (Minor)

The Biology minor requires a minimum of six courses meeting the following criteria:

• All courses must be taken for a letter grade (no other grading basis is allowed).

  • A minimum total GPA of 2.0 is required in courses taken for the minor.

• All courses must be worth or approved for three or more units.

• At least three courses must be taken at the 100-level or higher. The only courses below 100 that are allowable are one additional BIO 80- level course and OSPAUSTL 10, 28, or 32; note that OSPAUSTL 10, 28, and 32 together count as three courses toward the minor

• The two required 80-series courses for the minor cannot be substituted through transfer credit or any other course (BIO 100-level or higher, approved out-of-department course, or through a submitted General Petition)

• Courses used to fulfill the minor may not be used to satisfy any other department degree requirements (minor or major).

• Stanford Introductory Seminars (IntroSems or Sophomore Seminars) may not be used to fulfill the minor requirements.
