When you understand the functions of living organisms, you have the ability to know how every element of life operates within them, right down to the molecule. As a biology: cellular, molecular, and biomedical science major, you will explore molecular interactions that both drive and regulate cellular and physiological processes. As you work to gain understanding of biological concepts, you will have the opportunity to take part in research projects and learn the latest techniques in the laboratory. CMU's cellular, molecular, and biomedical science major is a pivotal launch pad for success in graduate school. Both bachelor and graduate degrees will help you forge a career path in biology you're excited about and ready for the Biology Major will prepare students for graduate programs, pre-professional programs, certificate programs, and careers in diverse biological disciplines. Experiences in the program will strengthen skills in teamwork, inquiry and analysis, oral and written communication , problem solving, ethical reasoning, critical and creative thinking, and quantitative and information literacy. Biology students have the opportunity to perform one-on-one research with Biology faculty members and often present their work at local, regional, national, or international venues.
