Plant Biology Minor
https://colsa.unh.edu/biological-sciences/program/minor/plant-biology
The Minor in Plant Biology is designed to provide a broad introduction to plant biology and why plants are important to humans, while providing a framework for understanding plant diversity, function, and behavior. Electives allow the opportunity to choose a specialized area of plant biology that is of interest.
Five courses are required for completion of the minor, of which no more than two can overlap with major requirements.
The minimum acceptable grade in courses is a C-; the average grade for these courses must be a C or better.
