The following concentrations are available in the Biology major:
• Pre-Medicine
• Cellular and Molecular Genetics
• Ecology
• Biology of Organisms
See this section for concentration requirements.
Students who intend to prepare for public school teaching should complete the Biology major with six credits of English (3 credits of Composition and 3 credits of Literature) and at least one other teachable minor is recommended. They should see the Science Advisor or an Educational Advisor in Student Services for the composition of teachable minors.
