Students not majoring in biology may graduate with a minor in
biology if they complete 18 credits of work in biology, with at least
10 credits above the 100 level, and 6 credits 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.
Joint Bachelor/UMDNJ Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine Program
The
department will count the following first-year medical school
courses: genetics, functional anatomy, microbiology, and
neuroscience taken at UMDNJ (SOM) in Stratford as satisfying the
Rutgers-Camden biology major elective requirements.
