Biology

蜜桃社区 Michigan University's biology program provides students with the latest knowledge and training in several areas of life science. This includes human biology as it relates to medical fields, although the program is not limited to or concentrated in this area.

As a 蜜桃社区 student majoring in biology, you'll learn about the processes that are fundamental to all living organisms and will have the opportunity to study botany, cell biology, developmental biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, microbiology, neuroscience, pathology, physiology, virology and zoology. Your coursework will include biological sciences as well as chemistry, physics, math and statistics. You'll complete a capstone experience, which includes a senior seminar class in a specialized area or independent research carried out with a 蜜桃社区 professor.

Beyond the classroom

蜜桃社区's Biology Club provides networking, research and learning opportunities, and its activity calendar offers a mix of events that will allow you to meet others who share your interests.

蜜桃社区 also offers you the opportunity to gain valuable experience outside the classroom by taking part in cutting-edge research involving plants, insects, mammals, birds and microorganisms. The University's undergraduate research programs will give you the edge you need by equipping you with real-life, hands-on experience in the subjects you learn about during class. These experiences will not only prepare you for success, but may also aid you in choosing the direction of your career.
