Program description
The biology major allows students to examine the biological foundation of life from a variety of viewpoints, including ecosystems, organisms, cells, and molecules. Active, inquiry-based learning, which includes classroom and laboratory experiences, is an important component of our curriculum because it not only provides in-depth exposure to core biology concepts but also develops skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, data analysis, and scientific writing.
We provide a rigorous scientific curriculum rooted in the liberal arts tradition of connecting various areas both inside and outside of the sciences, as students learn to apply their knowledge to real-world issues. The college catalog contains a complete and up-to-date list of program prerequisites and courses.
