Biology core:
	Introductory track: 840:051 ; 840:052 ;840:100; 840:140 **	15 hours
	Chemistry: 860:044 and 860:048 ***	8 hours
Methods
	Science and Science Education: 820:190 ; 820:196	5 hours
	Biology: 840:193	3 hours
Electives in biology: (100-level, excluding 840:101 , 840:179 , 840:185 , 840:190 , and 840:198 )		hours
	TOTAL	33 hours

*At least 3 hours of biology credit must be 100g-level.
** 840:140 is not required as a prerequisite for 100-level courses.
***Students with excellent preparation in chemistry may substitute 860:070 plus 3 additional credit hours of biology electives for 860:044 and 860:048 .

Completion of this minor will satisfy the requirements of the Iowa Department of Education for Biology approval (effective October 1, 1988) only if the student has completed 30 semester hours in the broad area of science.
