Description

Ever since Van Leeuwenhoek described the “cavorting wee beasties” seen through his simple 1670s-style microscope, scientists have been fascinated by tiny life forms. This degree allows students to join those who explore the world of bacteria, viruses, mitochondria, neurons, and genetic material. A strong core of biology and chemistry anchors the program, which offers flexibility through a generous selection of approved electives.

Students will receive plenty of personal attention from faculty; in the classroom, in research laboratories, and in the Biology Advisement Center. Students will have numerous opportunities, even as an undergraduate, to do research that might get students a job in a lab or get students into medical school. Graduates have exceptional placement rates in medical schools, government agencies, and graduate programs.
