Students learn about current advances in many frontier areas of biology.
Students in all biological sciences specializations receive a sound liberal arts education. They learn to think critically, to analyze problems and to formulate and demonstrate solutions. Many qualify and are encouraged to work actively in original research with members of the faculty, thus earning credits through undergraduate research. Program requirements ensure that all majors receive a sound, general education in biology and gain experience in their specialization in advanced studies. Some advanced courses do not necessarily meet a particular student's career aspirations.
