生物系提供了本科和研究生两级的学习课程。本科生可以在野生生物与渔业科学学士学位的三个集中程度中进行选择（保护生物学，渔业科学或野生生物科学）。生物学是对生物的各个层面的研究，其范围从对分子结构和过程的研究到对不同生物之间复杂相互作用的研究。由于这些水平的复杂性和活生物体的惊人多样性，生物学被分为许多学科，这些学科专注于特定水平或特定生物群的生物过程。生物学学位为学生提供了解这些学科的基本概念和原理所需的一般课程，以及各种学科的高级课程。
Biology is the study of living organisms at all levels, ranging from investigations into molecular structure and processes to studies of complex interactions among different organisms. Because of the complexity of these levels and the amazing diversity of living organisms, biology is divided into a number of disciplines that concentrate on biotic processes at a particular level or for a specific group of organisms. A biology degree provides students with general courses needed to understand the basic concepts and principles on which these disciplines are based, as well as advanced coursework in a wide variety of these disciplines.
