IB Minors

Did you know that there's not just one, but two different minors in IB (Integrative Biology)? That's right - you can view the requirements for each here: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/dmurph/www/index_files/IB/Minor%20in%20Integrative%20Biology.pdf and read their advisor's blurb here:



The School of Integrative Biology is pleased to offer two new minors beginning this fall: Minor in Integrative Biology and Minor in Ecology and Conservation Biology. 

A minor in Integrative Biology is ideal for students intending to have a career in a field other than biology, but for whom a background in biology is nevertheless complementary, e.g. law, technology, bioinformatics, business, scientific writing, and engineering. 
A minor in Ecology and Conservation Biology points students toward getting strength in this sub-discipline of biology.  Preparation for many careers is advanced by coursework in ecology and conservation, e.g. environmental lawyer, environmental consultant, conservation technician, and environmental educator.
Interested students should schedule an appointment with an IB advisor  by calling 217-333-6774.  Thank you for helping us spread the word!
