Biology

Our biology majors enjoy small classes and laboratory sections, even in General Biology.

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

Science Horizons

Science Horizons provides significant mentoring for five first-year students each year.
