Description
The biology major offers the broadest exposure to the various subdisciplines of biology through an examination of life from the molecular to the community level. Besides taking foundation courses that survey the full range of biology, plus genetics, ecology, and evolution, students also take courses in three major areas of biology: organismal biology, ecology, and cellular and functional biology. Students interested in veterinary medicine should pursue this track, and students applying to professional schools also should take Organic Chemistry II and lab (CHY 253, CHY 254) and Biochemistry (minimum of CHY 461). Students graduating in this major have the broadest opportunities to further their education either in graduate or professional schools or to pursue any of a number of careers in the biological sciences, such as lab technicians and state biologists.
