A Minor in Botany is offered to students who

managements, or who want to enrich their undergraduate experience
by pursuing interests in one or more of the following:
-
marine or terrestrial plant life in Hawai'i
-
ecology and resource management
-
modern technologies (molecular, physiological,
or genetic methodology)
-
techniques of microscopy
-
ethnobotany
-
traditional fields such as classification,
physiology, anatomy
For a Minor in Botany students must meet the
University requirement of 15 credit hours in non-introductory
courses in the Minor. The Department of Botany Minor Program
offers great flexibility, allowing students to pursue a Minor
in Botany regardless of major or background. You and your faculty
advisor will select courses to meet your goals. Students can
pursue an individually designed program, or the following example:

Procedure
for Declaring a Botany Minor |
| |
You may select your own Departmental faculty advisor or seek assistance
from Dr. George Wong, the Undergraduate Student
Advisor (St. John Room 612C, Phone 956-3940). After
you plan your program with your faculty advisor, complete a declaration
form. Your advisor will submit the form to the Department for
approval.
Bear in mind that courses to be used for core
or major credit cannot be included in your minor and that only
grades of C (not C-) or above count toward your minor. Please contact your
advisor as questions arise concerning your program.
One semester before you graduate, meet with your
advisor to compile the courses, credits, and grades to be counted
toward your Minor certificate.
