Minor in Related Sciences
The Related Sciences minor offers two tracks: a Medical/Molecular Sciences track, and an Ecosystems Sciences track. Students must choose one track: consult with your Academic Advisor about the best choice for your major and career. The Medical/ Molecular Science Track is designed for students seeking to enhance their preparation in organic and biochemistry, such as pre- med students. The Ecosystems/Evolution Track emphasizes the study of terrestrial ecosystems.
