Biology explores living organisms, from microorganisms to plants and animals, examining their interactions with each other and their surroundings. This degree's core curriculum builds knowledge in key areas like evolution, biodiversity, ecology, cellular biology, microbiology, and genetic principles. A biology degree equips graduates for diverse career paths and advanced studies in graduate, medical, or veterinary programs. The program blends rigorous lab work and immersive field experiences with courses showcasing nature's biological diversity. UNH's modern facilities and proximity to New Hampshire's coastal areas, lakes, and White Mountain National Forest offer exceptional hands-on research possibilities. Students are urged to collaborate with professors in academic and research settings, engaging in studies involving freshwater, marine, and estuarine biology, physiology, neurobiology, behavioral ecology, genetics, biology education, tissue culture, and ecosystem biodiversity.
