Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

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: BIOLOGY 1113 and 1114, and CHEM 1210.

In addition to satisfying these requirements, the EE minor requires a minimum of 15 semester units, including core courses in Evolution (EEOB 3310.01 or .02, 4 units), Organismal Diversity (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, Sue Ellen Dehority (dehority.2@osu.edu).
