The Field
The field of biology is about discovery, curiosity, exploration, and the search for solutions that can be delivered by the natural world around us.
Biology is a rapidly growing scientific discipline, opening new doors of opportunity and possibility with modern advances in biotechnology and molecular biology. It’s also a field positioned to take on the evolving challenges related to health care in the 21st century, as well as a more proactive mindset when it comes to environmental conservation and sustainability. And it offers an ideal foundation for advanced study in areas like medicine.
The Program
As a student in the biology program, you’ll embark on a dynamic academic journey designed to prepare you to contribute to the body of scientific knowledge capable of enhancing life for everyone. You’ll have abundant access to newly renovated facilities and state-of-the-art equipment, and will benefit from scientific study within a liberal arts framework—resulting in a well-rounded learning experience. On any given day in the program you may find yourself using molecular techniques to decipher the inner workings of a disease pathogen, or developing mathematical models to solve the mysteries of ecological processes. And you’ll develop the ability to work effectively with scientists and non-scientists on solutions to local, regional, and global problems.
