Biology Minor

Penn State Erie, The Behrend College (BIOBD)

PROFESSOR ROGER F. KNACKE, Director

The minor in Biology gives students opportunities to combine a background in the biological sciences with other majors. The minor can provide valuable expertise in cross-disciplinary areas, such as mathematical biology, biochemisty, and biophysics; or a biological grounding in fields like psychology or ecology.
