This minor is designed for students who are interested in learning more about animal behavior, including the mechanisms that underlie behaviors and the evolutionary forces that may have shaped them. Students must complete, and earn a grade of C- or better, in the following courses to qualify:

• ZOOL 713, Animal Behavior
• at least 16 additional credits of relevant coursework (~four courses from the list below; courses are 4 credits unless otherwise noted):

o at least two of the four electives must come from the Category I list below; the remaining two courses may be from either Category I or Category II.

No more than 8 credits can be counted for both the student’s major and the animal behavior minor (i.e., you may “double count” up to, but no more than, two courses).

If a student is interested in using a course that he or she feels is relevant but that is not included on this list, he or she must seek permission from Dr. Leslie Curren in the Department of Biological Sciences, (603) 862-5103; leslie.curren@unh.edu.
