We hope that this Minor will ultimately create an opportunity for faculty and students at Albright to (a) develop a deep understanding of evolutionary ideas, (b) conduct cross-disciplinary research using evolution as a synthesizing paradigm, and (c) contribute to novel ideas across disciplines guided by evolutionary reasoning.
Albright allows students to individualize their curricula with Minor options. These Minors, consisting of five or six courses, are designed to complement the student’s major field of study. They provide an extra dimension to education and enhance career opportunities. The completion of a Minor will be indicated on the student’s transcript.
