Programs of Study
Undergraduate Study
The Undergraduate Program is designed to provide students with a broad foundation in both content and hands-on experience in the biological sciences. Students are encouraged to take courses across all the content areas of the biological sciences. Major areas of study include Biology (BA or BS), Molecular Biology (BA or BS), Ecology and Biodiversity (BA or BS), Integrated Sciences (BA) or Animal Technology (BS). An emphasis in Cognitive Neuroscience (BA or BS) is also offered in conjunction with the Department of Psychology.
Students who choose to major outside Biological Sciences can earn a minor in any one of three areas - Biology, Molecular Biology or Ecology and Biodiversity.
Graduate Study
The Department of Biological Sciences provides outstanding opportunities for graduate training at both the Masters and PhD levels. Our students use experimental and theoretical approaches in the laboratory and the field to study a wide range of organisms at all levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems.
