The Biology Program provides eight distinct majors, spanning specializations from cellular and molecular biology to ecology and evolutionary studies. New students at U-M don't need to choose a specific major immediately. Exploring multiple biology courses often helps identify which area of biological sciences aligns with your interests. For those pursuing a biology degree, starting prerequisite courses early and consulting with a major advisor during your first or second year is highly advised to establish an academic roadmap. This curriculum fosters understanding of life's organizational levels, biological diversity, and evolutionary processes. It's ideal for students seeking biology as part of a broad education, preparing for secondary school teaching, or advancing to graduate studies in biology or health-related fields.
