Undergraduate Program
The Department of Biology offers a B.S. in Biology, with a curriculum designed to give students a solid grounding in biological principles and a deep appreciation for the diversity and complexity of life.
Our major requirements emphasize both breadth and depth, encouraging students to explore a wide range of topics and approaches in the study of living organisms. We also value flexibility, allowing majors, minors, and non-majors to develop individualized programs that reflect their interests and career goals. For guidance on declaring a biology major and planning your coursework, you can download our Biology Major Worksheet.
Biology courses provide an excellent foundation for students in other fields as well. Any 100-level Biology course is suitable for non-majors and fulfills the GER 2B requirement (General Education Requirement in science). These courses are specifically designed for students outside the major, emphasizing scientific inquiry and the relevance of biology in human society.
