The minor requires six courses of at
least 3 credits each in life sciences subjects, including general
biology. Both terms of general biology must be completed at the same
institution or on the same campus at Rutgers. No other course at the
100 level may be used to satisfy the minor. Three of the six required
courses must be taken at Rutgers- New Brunswick/Piscataway. A maximum
of 3 credits of research in a life sciences subject may be used toward
the minor. A minimum of three courses at the 300 level or above is
required. Only life sciences courses acceptable for the biological
sciences major may be used for the minor. Courses in chemistry,
mathematics, or physics do not count toward the minor. A grade-point
average of 2.0 or better in courses credited toward the minor is
required. No more than one course with a grade of D may be used to
fulfill the requirements of the minor.
