Course Overview

Biology encompasses all of the processes and patterns that characterize living cells, organisms, and ecosystems. Building on recent advances in the molecular, cellular, and ecological disciplines, modern biological science offers students a rich framework that can launch a career with a wide variety of skills for discoveries within cells, organ systems, species, and even ecosystems in which we live. Scientific knowledge is based on research, and students are encouraged to undertake significant research projects to enhance their educational experience and prepare them for graduate school or full-time employment.

Biologists may investigate the conservation of animals and plants, study interactions between living organisms with the changing environment, uncover evolutionary relationships between different organisms, learn how living systems work or even work with the public to increase awareness of important health and environmental issues.

In the College of Science, biology is something that students do, rather than something they merely learn. Courses present biology and hands-on laboratory work and field experiences as it is done by career biologists, and hands-on laboratory and field experience is emphasized.

The major includes all of the coursework and support services to prepare you to pursue advanced degrees in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, podiatry, and chiropractic medicine, as well as a wide range of graduate programs in the life sciences.
