Complementary Minors and Certificates
Students who minor in one of the following disciplines find a strong overlap or complement to Biology:
Environmental Inquiry
The Environmental Inquiry minor was created to enrich all areas of academic study with essential, cross-disciplinary understanding of crucial environmental issues and how they are being framed and tackled from both scientific and policy perspectives.
English
More than ever before, employers in all fields—business, public service, the sciences, and the arts—expect their new hires to be excellent communicators. Penn State’s English minor is a perfect opportunity for students in every major to enhance their four-year degrees with a strong foundation in writing, critical thinking, effective communication, and creativity.
Psychology
The Psychology minor is designed to provide undergraduate students with a broad overview of psychology topics, skills and research methods. It offers students a strong foundation in psychology and deeper knowledge of the research and theory behind one or two specific domains within the field.
(Additional minors and certificate programs are also available.)
