Biology explores the science of living organisms and life's variety through an evolutionary lens. As a Biology student, you'll discover how species interact, genetic inheritance patterns, evolutionary processes, and more. Our curriculum emphasizes practical learning through research projects and fieldwork integrated into nearly every course. You'll explore core biological concepts such as: Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Heredity, Evolutionary Theory, Species Diversity, Classification Systems, Ecosystems, and Environmental Science. Tailor your Biology education to align with your professional goals by selecting specialized courses or combining with majors like Chemistry, Geography, Environmental Science, or Outdoor Recreation, Parks & Tourism.
Our intimate department size creates opportunities to participate in faculty research across diverse fields from ecological studies to biofuel development. Graduates pursue rewarding careers in healthcare professions (medicine, dentistry, veterinary science) or advanced academic research.
Students can gain practical experience through Biology internships and research assistant roles offered during summer breaks or the school year. Combining these work opportunities with laboratory sessions and classroom instruction creates an exceptional learning experience.
