Wildlife Biology
This minor serves students who desire a continuation in the study of natural populations of plant and animal life. It would be of special interest to students who are majors in environmental science and geology since it strongly complements these majors. Some students of other natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities may also find this concentration useful.

Food and Agricultural Biology
Biology is one of the foundation disciplines for nutrition, food and agricultural sciences. Food and agricultural sciences are striving to revitalize their roots in the liberal arts. This set of courses Provides basic preparation in biology that is relevant to any student who wants to pursue eventual
advanced study in agriculture.

Medical Biology
Students with an interrest in human and veterinarian medecine or related fields typically major in biology or chemistry. However, they may major in other fields. The medical biology minor includes courses that are especially useful in preparation for such careers.

Behavioral Biology
Behavioral biology involves a study of interaction between organisms and their environment, a very pervasive part of biology and its applications. Biology is fundamental to understanding some of the phenomena in the social sciences, especially those considered in psychology and sociology. The minor in behavioral biology establishes a concentration of biology courses that provide keys to under-standing behavior in all animals, including that of human beings. These courses would provide a biological perspective of behavior to comment a social science perspective. It would be of special interest to students of social sciences and humanities.
