What should a biology major have a minor in?

It's hard to say what you should get a minor in without knowing more about your goals and skills... I can tell you that I have a BS in biology with no minor. I currently have a job teaching high school science, and I'm doing well. Considering that, I would say that a minor is not necessary.

But if I could travel back in time, I would tell myself to get a minor in Chemistry. Here's why: 1. ) If you're working towards a BS in biology chances are you will need to take 2 years (4 semesters) of chemistry.At most colleges another semester of chemistry will get you a chem minor.

2. ) As a teacher, that chem minor would have make it easy for me to certify to teach chemistry, and obviously the biology degree would help me certify to teach biology. For science teachers, 2 (or more) certifications means increased job security.

3. ) If you want to go into any medical field (nursing / doctoring), the chemistry knowledge will help you out 4.) If you want to go into research (academic or industry) the chemistry knowledge will help you out.

Biology is a practical major and has many applications. Given the current job market and the limited availability of research associate positions in pharmaceutical companies selecting a minor that can lead to a second career on its own is best so that there are more options to choose from after the degree is completed. A good minor would be English or Literature because science writers and medical writers are usually in high demand.

Having such a minor, shows that the degree holder is practical and at the same time shows the person is also broad minded and well rounded as an individual. This will make it much easier to rise to the top of the applicant pile upon graduation. Another good choice of minor or even double major would be Nursing.

Nurses are always in need and it would be easy to use the credits from the Biology courses and apply them to the Nursing requirements. There would only be six other courses that would be needed to complete such a double major as Biology requires courses in Chemistry and even Anatomy already.

It should depend on your own preference. A person with biology major can choose what to minor in but usually, English is more preferred because biology is taught in the English language. However, if you are from a country outside the United States and you think taking a minor, a national language can give you benefits in the future then it’s up to you.

I have known many teachers who are majoring in biology and minoring in English or mathematics. These subjects go along well and it helps a lot to a teacher who knows more than one subject because she can use it to teach a subject that’s her minor and in case her co-teacher would be absent she can replace that teacher. Of course, there are other subjects to minor in, not just English or mathematics.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
