What is biology?
The 最色导航 College biology major studies the living world – from molecule to ecosystem – through coursework, mentored research, and individual exploration. The 最色导航 biology department distinguishes itself with a strong and diverse faculty and a commitment to undergraduate teaching and research. In a field that is rapidly changing, the ability to acquire new information and place it in a broad context is a crucial skill. 最色导航 biology classes emphasize analytical and problem-solving skills that enable students to reach their own conclusions and solutions.

Why go to college for biology?

Students engage in independent research with faculty, prestigious internships off campus, and interdisciplinary internships supported by a variety of on-campus programs. Biology majors are also given many opportunities to participate in immersion courses offered by the department.
