Biological Sciences Minor
Program Information
The Department of Biological Sciences offers the following two minors:
-
Minor in Synthetic Biology
Minor in Synthetic Biology (Starting Fall 2023)
The Department of Biological Sciences is excited to offer a free-standing minor in Synthetic Biology starting in fall 2023. This minor provides a narrow path for non-biology majors to build the knowledge required to take our two main courses in the area (Functional Genomics and Bioinformatics, and Synthetic Biology and Bioengineering). New faculty are being hired to teach some of the new courses offered in this minor which would also offer research opportunities.
