How
many courses are required for a Biology Minor?

choose three more courses to earn a minor. These three electives
may be any courses from our curriculum EXCEPT courses designated
"SI" (Scientific Inquiry) which are designed primarily
for non-majors. Consult the class schedules to see list of current classes in our department.
I
took some science courses from another school. Do my credits transfer
to DePaul?
- There are restrictions on the number and types of courses you can transfer. Transfer credit from two year colleges is limited to 99 quarter hours. Total transfer credit from all institutions is limited to 132 quarter hours. For additional information regarding transfer credit restrictions, please visit the Transfer Admissions web site.
- The Course Equivalency Guide lets you see how courses at another college are accepted at any participating four-year university, including DePaul. On the first page, select "Illinois" and "DePaul" from the list of schools. On the next page, you can then load the state and name of the college you took courses from. List "All Courses" and you will see a list of all equivalent courses between the two schools. If your course is not listed, it is likely not eligible to transfer.
