A biology minor is ideal for students who are majoring in another discipline but who also want a level of expertise in the biological sciences.

Common major + biology minor combinations include:

• Chemistry major + Biology minor
• Psychology major + Biology minor
• Sport and Exercise Science major + Biology minor
• Dietetics major + Biology minor
• Nutrition major + Biology minor

To fulfill a biology minor, 20 credits of biology course work must be completed with a minimum of a 2.0 GPA for those courses. Those 20 credits must include:

• BIO 110 (Principles of Biology) -- 4 credits
• BIO 111 (Survey of Organismal Biology) -- 4 credits
• 12 additional credit hours of biology courses at the 200-level and above. Of those 12 credits, 6 of them must be 300-level or higher

You will need to complete the major/minor change form available at the UNC Registrar Office.
