What you'll study

Students study core biology topics that underpin the science of living organisms and choose coursework targeted to meet the specific prerequisites of health-professional programs. The program emphasizes active participation in study and research rather than passive lecture-only learning. Smaller major class sizes enable undergraduates to pursue original research projects or collaborate on faculty research aligned with their interests.
