We have over 50 students enrolled in our graduate program, with a target of upwards of 80 students within the next 5-10 years. Students concentrate their coursework and research within one of two tracks: Cell, Molecular, Health, and Disease (CMHD) Biology or Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal (EEO) Biology. Our world-class graduate faculty span the full continuum of biological subdisciplines, thus affording a true cross-disciplinary education in Biology.
The Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology prepares students for graduate and professional schools as well as a variety of careers within the life sciences. Undergraduate students majoring in Biology have the opportunity to specialize in areas of particular interest by selecting from four different concentrations: Biology of Global Health, Cell & Molecular Biology, Integrative Biology, and Science Education. Biology majors are strongly encouraged to participate in the numerous undergraduate research experiences offered in the department. Our faculty are award-winning instructors who are passionate about fostering a love of science while developing students into successful scientists and leaders.
