In biology, we explore the science of life: the principles that govern life processes, molecular to ecosystem levels of organization, and the impact of biological issues on our lives. You'll be taught respect for life, the environment, and the place of humans in the biosphere. Internships and research opportunities ensure that you'll have a broad‐based and practical understanding of biology. Our graduates often head for medical, dental or pharmacy school, or conduct research in their specific field of study within the private sector. Within the department, we emphasize academic excellence and direct dialogue between you and the professor, so you never feel lost. You'll learn scientific reasoning, quantitative analysis, and the powers of observation and critical thinking from academic leaders with years of field experience.
