Biology explores living organisms, from single-celled to multicellular life forms, examining their interactions with each other and their surroundings. This field investigates biological systems at every scale - from molecules and cells to entire ecosystems. Researchers analyze how living things obtain energy, grow, reproduce, and evolve over time through natural selection. Evolutionary theory serves as a unifying principle for understanding life's diversity.
Introductory biology courses establish foundational knowledge about life processes, cellular structures, and organismal functions including metabolic pathways.
The Bachelor of Liberal Arts and Science undergraduate program combines humanities and scientific education. Students complete core liberal studies in writing, reasoning, and ethics while selecting either an Arts or Science specialization.
