Additional Stipulations:
- No more than one of ANTH 207 and BIOL 170 may count toward the minor.
- The minor requires a total of six distinct courses. Thus, courses that are listed twice above (such as STAT 450) may count toward one, but not both requirements.
- No more than three courses, counting toward any one major or other minor, may be counted toward the minor.
