Notes

ALL CLASSES FOR THIS MINOR MUST BE TAKEN AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY.

At least one-half of these courses must be taken at the West Lafayette campus.

A 2.0 or higher average is required in courses used to complete the minor.

¹ For acceptable regional campus options see below.

² For alternative choices to BIOL 13500 , see below.

³ Either BIOL 32800 (Principles of Physiology)  or BIOL 39500 (Macromolecules)  alone or  both BIOL 36700 and 36701 will meet the requirements for Parts III and IV of the minor.
