Biology majors at Lafayette enjoy small classes and laboratory sections, even in General Biology. Our professors are committed to undergraduate teaching, and about half of our majors perform individual laboratory research projects under the guidance of faculty mentors. Many of these research projects result in published scientific papers with students as co-authors and/or public presentations at state and national scientific meetings.
