Download as PDF
Program Overview
Students in the program learn to think and analyze information critically, draw connections among the different areas of biology, and communicate their ideas effectively to the scientific community.
Students interested in the minor in Biology must declare the minor and submit their course plan online via Axess no later than two quarters before the student’s intended quarter of degree conferral.

Degree Requirements
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.
