生物学专业提供创新和跨学科的课程，在从分子到生态系统的所有组织规模上，都结合了严格的生物学基础知识基础。该计划反映了生活世界的复杂性和多样性，并强调了生物科学的统一原则：进化，能量和物质的转换，结构和功能，信息流的交换和存储以及多组件系统固有的更高级别的复杂性。该课程为学生提供了丰富的实验室和现场课程实践经验，并有机会通过实习形式在校外探索教师或应用经验的研究问题。
The Biology major emphasizes a broad training in biology by requiring an additional six upper-level biology elective courses, with at least one in each of three areas corresponding to different levels of biological organization: environmental, organismal, and molecular. <br>This program offers the broadest education of the four majors, prepares students for a wide variety of careers in the life sciences, and meets the requirements for admission at most graduate and pre-professional schools.
