Molecular and Cellular Biology Minor
for the Undergraduate Minor in Molecular & Cellular Biology
The minor, administered by the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, is designed to provide students with an understanding of foundational principles of physiology, cellular and developmental biology, microbiology, molecular genetics and biochemistry. A minor in Molecular and Cellular Biology will prepare students for training in medicine and other health sciences, graduate studies in related disciplines, as well as for employment opportunities in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Students must contact an MCB advisor for acceptance into the minor. MCB 150 must be completed or in progress before acceptance into the minor.
