Biology Minor

A minor in biology is a great option for students who want to supplement their major with a touch of the life sciences. A biology minor might be appropriate for students who are majoring in another field but plan to attend a graduate program in healthcare such as physical therapy or pharmacy. It could also be a good choice for students with interdisciplinary career interests, for example, medical illustration or using computer models to study cancer growth.

In addition to the two foundational courses in biology, Principles of Biology I and II, students are able to tailor the minor by choosing nine hours of upper level courses that meet their specific needs.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
