Curriculum
Students gain a solid background in the discipline while also gaining the ability to apply biological principles to our world. Students prepare for the major with appropriate courses in mathematics, chemistry, and physics or computer science. In their first two years, students are introduced to the breadth of the discipline in three core courses that provide a foundation in biological diversity, ecology, evolution, genetics, and cell biology. As seniors, our majors enroll in the capstone seminar course in which students hone their oral and written communication skills as well as their ability to analyze and discuss primary literature in biology.
