Evolution and Ecology Minor Program

The EE minor requires a subset of the core courses of the major, plus an additional course. Required supportive courses for the EE minor include: BIO 1113 and 1114, and CHEM 1210 and 1220.
Recommended courses include a two-semester sequence of physics (PHYSICS 1250, 1251),
MATH 1151 or 1156, and one semester of organic chemistry (CHEM 2310 or 2510). STAT
2480 or 2450 will not be required for the minor but will be advised as strongly recommended. In
addition to satisfying these requirements, the EE minor requires a minimum of 15 semester units,
including core courses in Evolution (EEOB 3310, 4 units), Biodiversity (EEOB 3320, 3 units),
and Ecology (EEOB 3410, 4 units). A student must select additional courses from the core
categories of biodiversity and evolution/ecology as specified in the EE major. Honors versions of courses may be substituted in all cases.

A student who completes the minor following these guidelines need only file the Minor Program Form with a college/school counselor. Any variation from the program described above needs the approval of the coordinating advisor in the Department of EEOB.
