The Department of Biology offers a broad program of undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate study in the biological sciences. Included among the areas in which instruction and research opportunities are available are biochemistry and biophysics, cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, developmental biology, genetics, neuroscience, and immunology.

The Biology Department offers two degree options for undergraduate students, a Bachelor of Arts degree for biology majors and a Bachelor of Science degree for molecular and cellular biology majors.

The B.A. degree in biology is designed to provide students with a thorough grounding in modern biology, with special emphasis on the molecular aspects of the discipline.

All courses required for the biology major must be taken for a letter grade (not S/U) and be passed with a grade of C- or better with one exception. The department will accept one passing grade below C- in the senior year provided that the average for all formal lecture and laboratory courses is at least 2.0.
