Course Information

Why Study Biology?

Biologists study the structure, function, growth, origin, evolution and distribution of living organisms. They have a curiosity about the natural world and use their knowledge and modern technologies to improve peoples’ lives and global ecosystems. Biologists work in the health and medical sectors to address health issues ranging from emerging diseases to antibiotic resistance, to ensuring adequate water and food supplies. Others pursue careers focusing on the impact of environmental biodiversity and climate change.

Why Study Biology at Eastern?

Biology students at Eastern gain extensive practical experience and spend more time in the laboratory and field projects than in lecture. Students receive the full attention of their professors, all of whom have Ph.D. degrees from top universities; professors teach both lectures and laboratories. Working in small classes with state-of-art scientific equipment ranging from a DNA sequencer to a confocal microscope, students acquire hands-on experiences in the laboratory and in terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments. Just one example of the major's flexibility is its pre-med focus. In addition to the Biology major, a Biology minor is offered to other majors.
