| BIOLOGY MAJOR (residential) |
B.S. in Biology
|
Biology majors choose from the general, environmental science, molecular biology, or pre-med specializations.
In addition to outstanding classroom instruction in our “smart classrooms,” you'll receive training in the latest laboratory techniques.
Because you train directly under your professors, rather than graduate students or teaching assistants, you'll be exceptionally well prepared to succeed in professional school or graduate school.
