Biology

Learn by doing from day one as you explore a future in biology. While biology encompasses many fields – such as conservation, genetics, microbiology, physiology and more – you will benefit from a collaborative, hands-on approach led by master faculty who are eager to help you answer life’s biggest questions through meaningful, high-level research. Study microbes, genes and molecules in health and disease using cancer cells and model organisms ranging from yeast to zebrafish; carry out organismal, field and environmental research projects; and co-author research publications that will shape the scientific community for years to come. 

The Biology Department offers majors in Biology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, and Environmental Biology. Minors in Biology are also available. 

This program is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the centerpiece of 天美传媒's three-school model

Facilities available to Biology departmental majors include the the 520-acre 天美传媒 Nature Park, greenhouses, animal facilities, cell culture and molecular biology labs and the Buehler Biomedical Imaging Center.
