Like the living things at its essence, the field of biology is dynamic, constantly growing, rapidly changing, and replete with new discoveries and advances.

Our majors are equipped to take part in these discoveries with a foundation in all important areas of modern biology, through the required core of courses in our curriculum.

Benefiting from our university-wide emphasis on the liberal arts, students will come to understand, and not just memorize, the core principles of science and other disciplines.

Our graduates are well prepared for their futures, pursuing a variety of graduate study and exciting careers.

More than 80 percent of our pre-med biology graduates are admitted to medical school on their first try, compared to just 50 percent nationally for all majors.
