Biology - Drew University

Biology from Drew University is a Campus Bachelor Biology degree that prepares you for a Science career. Curriculum: The biology program begins with three active laboratory courses that cover ecology, evolution, diversity (zoology, botany, microbiology), cell biology, and molecular biology. Many students will also take a fourth course that covers vertebrate anatomy and physiology. By the fourth semester, students may begin to choose from a broad range of course offerings in accordance with individual interests. Each student must take advanced courses from two or three subareas of biology and must choose at least one course with a scientific writing and literature research component. Many directions can be explored in depth, including cellular and molecular biology, neurobiology, genetics, microbiology, physiology, organismal biology, evolution, and ecology. Two years of college chemistry are required of biology majors. Prospective biology majors should begin their work in required chemistry early in their career at Drew, preferably during the fall semester of the first year. Additional work in chemistry, mathematics, and physics is often necessary and desirable for students planning to continue study in graduate or medical school. Interdisciplinary Programs: Students interested in biochemistry may choose the interdisciplinary biochemistry major or the biochemistry minor described in the biochemistry program listings. A cross-disciplinary major in neuroscience is available, as is a minor in environmental studies. View more details on Drew University .
