We are a community of student scholars and academics pursuing a rigorous and interdisciplinary approach to biology with a focus on events that occur at the cellular and biochemical levels. Our graduates become world-class scientists, doctors and other types of health professionals. Most students interested in working as health professionals (in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, pharmacy and veterinary) choose this major. We have an excellent track record of getting students into their choice of medical and graduate schools; in the past five years, we have had an almost 95 percent acceptance rate.
