As a biology student, you鈥檒l gain a strong foundation in core biology courses with specializations in specific areas, complemented by courses from other departments. All of this will help you develop strong critical thinking and analytical skills, provide you with hands-on experience in biological techniques, and assist you in fostering creative scientific thought.

You鈥檒l learn directly from expert faculty who will not only teach and advise you, but engage you in innovative聽research. These experiences, along with internships and other fieldwork, will prepare you for graduate or professional school and your future career.
