Exercise Biology, Minor College of Biological Sciences
This minor allows non-NPB and non-Human Biology majors to learn how physical activity levels impact human form and function. The courses are designed to foster intellectual curiosity, problem-solving and critical thinking skills, in the context of understanding organismal animal (including human) biology.
