⭐ Biology
Biology majors study the structure and function of cells, organ systems, and ecology and evolution. In the Bio major, you’ll learn about physiology, behavior, genetics and heredity, toxicology, and laboratory techniques. Underpinning all of this work is a rigorous core of physical science and mathematics courses. You’ll get a solid foundation of understanding in the basic biological sciences, and opportunities to work closely with faculty on research.
Biological Science Concentration
The curriculum for a Biological Science concentration includes introductory biology and foundational biology courses like cell biology, evolution, and genetics. Students also choose a selected field of study to tailor their degree in areas such as anatomy/physiology, ecology, aquatic biology, behavioral biology, and more.
Botany Concentration
The Botany concentration focuses on plants and plant-like organisms from microscopic algae to giant redwoods, and from fungi to flowers.
