The cell and molecular biology minor is open to students who are majoring in biology or biochemistry. Students seeking entry-level employment upon completion of the minor may need a “Letter of Proficiency in Laboratory Skills” from the Biology Department. This letter requires the student pass a laboratory skills competency examination, details of which are available from departmental advisors.
