Our Programs

The Biological Sciences encompass the study of living organisms and life processes at all levels:  ecosystems, populations, individual organisms, tissues, cells, subcellular structures, and molecules.  The Department of Biological Sciences offers courses that address all of these levels and programs of study for undergraduates.  The department offers each student three majors and a minor, as well as many opportunities for engaging in faculty-led research projects for course credit.  For more information about the majors and minors offered by the department, the honors track of each major, and research opportunities open to undergraduates, please contact one of our Directors of Undergraduate Studies, listed below.
