Hands on learning occurs in all Biology laboratories and other science laboratories. There are additional opportunities for hands on learning with research with faculty as well as coops.
The Biology minor is organized to give our students a firm foundation for understanding the central principles of the study of life processes, yet it permits student flexibility to select courses which reflect their own particular areas of interest. In the core Biology courses, students examine principles of change and continuity, inheritance and evolution, unity and diversity of organisms and their interaction with the environment and the impact of the environment on all life forms.
