The Department of Biological Sciences provides courses for both biology majors and non-majors. The core program for the Biological Sciences (BA) major consists of seven lecture/laboratory courses which provide a strong foundation in biology. Beyond the core program, students take three additional majors-level biology courses, guided by their interests. There are a number of opportunities for learning outside the classroom, including a program of seminars, internships, and opportunities for research with a member of the faculty. Students are encouraged to use their open electives to complete coursework required for graduate or professional programs or to pursue minors in fields that will complement their training in biology.
