The Biology Department spans Molecular Biology and Genetics, Integrative Biology, and Ecology and Biodiversity while contributing to interdisciplinary majors in Biochemistry, Neuroscience, and Environment and Sustainability and a thriving pre-health program. Faculty typically teach 5 classes per year with lab sections counting towards that total.
