Why is this Important?

  • Watching videos on the subject helps you understand the true nature of the major
  • Viewing student work helps you see the quality and complexity of what you’ll study
  • Videos allow you to see facilities, and resources of schools that teach the major

More About Biology

"As a Biology major, you also have the option to choose a pre-professional track in physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, pre-optometry, pre-dentistry, pre-veterinary science, or pre-med. From the time you arrive on campus until you graduate, you’ll be guided by a faculty advisor."

"Biology is the foundation of all life sciences and provides the core knowledge to pursue professional studies in medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, and more."

"Studying  Biology can lead to many career paths, from pursuing graduate degrees in the life sciences or in health-related fields, to research or teaching. Our rigorous and engaging biology curriculum focuses on connecting theoretical principles to laboratory practice. Our distinguished Biology faculty also provides excellent opportunities for our students to actively participate in their research projects."

"The Department of Biology investigates a wide range of research questions across the vast disciplines of the biological sciences. Our interdisciplinary faculty have research interests in areas ranging from single cells to entire systems and questions ranging from why we need sex to the origin of diseases at the cellular level."

"Because Biology is such a broad discipline, many students choose to concentrate in one area, and others prefer to remain generalists. Pre-Professional preparation is available for students wishing to pursue careers in human or veterinary medicine, dentistry, public health, or other health-related fields."

"The strength of a major in the Department of Biological Sciences is flexibility. You can concentrate on molecular biology, cell biology, or system physiology, or take a different approach by studying ecology, plant biology, or microbiology."

"Students are not expected simply to master current biological knowledge. Rather, they are encouraged and expected to understand biology as a dynamic body of knowledge. Methods of producing new knowledge and using concepts to further understanding are two major goals of the program."
