College of Arts and Sciences

With a well-rounded education in biology, all tracks prepare undergraduates for entry into graduate schools, health related fields (medical, nursing, dentistry, veterinary) and the job market, including careers in scientific research, conservation, environmental law and policy, biotechnology, forensics, agriculture, education, science policy, non-profits, and local, state and federal agencies. The availability of various tracks allows students to tailor a degree program towards their specific interests.

Organismal biology is the study of the life of whole organisms from various perspectives such as structure, physiology, development, biodiversity, adaptability, and social or environmental interactions. Organismal courses focus on plants and invertebrate and vertebrate animals.
