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. Two electives allow the opportunity to choose a specialized area of plant biology that is of interest. Five courses are required for the minor, of which no more than two can overlap with major requirements.
The requirements for the plant biology minor are:
| Code | Title | Credits |
