Biology
Bachelor of Science
Biology plays a role in some of the greatest discoveries.
The multidimensional field offers promising careers in medicine, ecology, agriculture, sports fitness, genetics, research, biotechnology, industry, and more. The study of life on earth is as varied as life itself. At 夜色视频, you are mentored by biologists who guide you to understand biology's basic principles, discoveries, and theories. Learn how to develop the habits of a biologist 鈥� accurate observation, measurement, and analysis. You are also encouraged to think independently. Learning becomes less structured as you progress through the program.

Alumni Spotlight
Max Randolph 鈥�16
Max landed his post-Naz goal: Going to Cornell鈥檚 vet school, ranked top in the nation. 鈥淚 feel very prepared, from my classes and from my experiences,鈥� says Randolph, a biology major with minors in chemistry and pre-veterinary studies. Lab classes capped at 16 students gave him hands-on experiences, even using sophisticated equipment such as a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. His advisor鈥檚 encouragement led him to a zoo internship that led to research with a Cornell veterinarian. 鈥淵our professors know you and know what you鈥檙e interested in.鈥�
