Biology Minor


Nearly everything interacts with biology in some way, and that makes a minor in this area one of the most useful.

You will find that a minor in biology complements majors in chemistry, nursing, environmental science, physics and more. It is a great area of study for those with an affinity for research, health sciences and natural sciences, because it deepens your understanding of those fields.

Regardless of your major, a minor in biology from LR will help you understand the world around you and prepare you for graduate school or a career in diverse areas.
