Majors in the Biological Sciences
Biology
Biology is the study of the living world around us. It explores the structure and function of living organisms including animals, plants, bacteria and viruses. Through one-on-one interaction with our faculty, our students gain in-depth experience in the process of science, learn laboratory techniques, as well as share in the excitement of scientific discovery.
The Biology program is housed within the Biology department.
Physiology
Physiology, the bedrock of biomedical education, addresses much more than human health and disease. Integrating from gene to cell to organism, students explore and master anatomy and cellular and integrative physiology, and learn the cutting-edge investigational techniques that characterize physiological and biomedical advancement in the modern world.
The Physiology program is housed in the Biology department.
Biochemistry, Cell & Molecular Biology (BCMB)
The BCMB program is jointly offered by the Biology and Chemistry departments.
Environmental Science
The Environmental Science program is jointly offered by the Biology and Chemistry departments.
Neuroscience
The Neuroscience program is jointly offered by the Biology and Psychology departments.
