The Department of Biology administers four majors: biochemistry, biology, environmental science, and natural science.
For students enrolled in these majors, the curriculum is designed to: 1) explore the basic properties of life from the molecular to the community/ecosystem level, 2) evaluate critically this information through rigorous application of the scientific method, and 3) incorporate this body of information in the framework of modern evolutionary theory. Laboratory and field work are important components of all four major programs.
