About the Concentration in General Biology
The general biology concentration is designed for students who want comprehensive training in the life sciences for careers in education, research, and medicine. Our curriculum isn’t confined to the classroom, so you’ll explore the world in the field and the laboratory, working closely with professors and peers. You will conduct research and benefit from advanced learning opportunities typically reserved for graduate-level students.
In our program, you will learn to use instruments in the lab and the field and build skills in communicating about science in writing and oral presentations. You’ll also explore the relationships between science and society by integrating current biological evidence into discussions of global challenges.
