Completion requirement

Students must complete at least 9 units a minor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.  It is expected that course work will consist of ECOL home courses.  Students must select 9 units from the Elective Courses listed below.

Per the Graduate College's requirements for the official Plan of Study, a minimum grade of C for each course is required (assuming the student's overall GPA remains 3.0 or higher, per Graduate College requirements).  A minor in EEB does not require a separate minimum GPA.
