The Biology Department offers a major that provides breadth within the natural sciences and depth within the many sub-disciplines of biology. This is accomplished with core areas that include introductory, foundational, and mastery courses, an environmental, applied/translational, and integrative/interdisciplinary themed course, and prerequisite courses from the Natural Science Division. The range of courses prepares students for the health professions, cellular and molecular biology, environmental biology, and teaching.
