Students Admitted Fall 2018

The School of Biological Sciences offers seven different majors, each leading to a Bachelor of Science degree with a distinct focus. All of these majors share a common core of requirements reflecting our philosophy that a foundation of knowledge in certain areas is essential for more specialized knowledge in any area of biology. Beyond the shared requirements, each major has a different set of requirements tailored to the theme of the major, providing students the opportunity to choose the courses of greatest interest to them.
