Biology Major (52 credits):
This major is suited for those who desire to enter a variety of fields, including: biological research, medicine, dentistry, or veterinary science. The program includes a course sequence centered on the hierarchical levels of organization of living systems—the molecule, cell, organ system, individual organism, and population. Culminating the program is a sequence of courses intended to develop an approach to independent study through an experience in biological research. For biology majors who wish to enter a specific field, electives can be chosen to satisfy their specific needs and interests.
