Biology majors learn to develop and test hypotheses, collect and analyze data, and present the results. They also learn various laboratory skills such as the preparation of chemical solutions, dissection, chromatography, electrophoresis, and DNA isolation and amplification. Furthermore, they acquire an understanding of cell structure, metabolism, heredity, ecology, evolution, and phylogenetic relationships among organisms' major taxa.
Students acquire a broad base of knowledge in the life sciences, learn current ideas in Ecology, Genetics, Cell Biology, and various other specialty areas, and get valuable preparation for jobs or further schooling.
