The Department of Biology offers two minors: a minor in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. 

Minor in Biology

A minor in biology is a great option for students who want to supplement their major with a touch of the life sciences. A minor in Biology is comprised of 20 units of any Biology (BIOL) courses with a minimum of 12 units taken at Vanguard. This minor might be appropriate if you are majoring in another field but plan to attend a graduate program in health care such as physical therapy or pharmacy.

Minor in Chemistry

Chemistry is the central bridge between the physical sciences, the life sciences and the applied sciences such as medicine and engineering. Therefore, it serves as a highly valuable complement to your science or engineering physics major. The chemistry minor can be combined with a major in biology, engineering physics, mathematics, kinesiology or any major to deepen your science education and broaden your job opportunities in industry and research labs.
