Integrative Biology
Integrative Biology is an interdisciplinary study of living organisms, merging principles from genetics, ecology, physiology, and evolution to understand and explore the complexity of life on Earth.
Integrative biology is a field of study geared at a broad-based education across many biological subdisciplines. Students focus on questions regarding ecology, evolution, and organisms, while also learning the modern technology and quantitative skills used in various fields. Students are well prepared to go on to graduate school in Biology or to seek careers in such places as the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and other similar research-focused institutions.Top Reasons
Original Research
During your collaborative research with our biology faculty, you’ll have the opportunity to publish and present your own original biology research at regional and national conferences.
Broad Biological Focus
This major has a strong focus on a broad range of biology coursework, providing you a well-rounded background. Students learn about microbes, plants, ecology, evolution, genomics, and modern tools employed in these fields.
Technology and Quantitative Skills
Students focus on the interactions of biology, technology, and statistics to develop skills needed in graduate schools and public and private sector biological research positions.

The Tiny Earth Network
澳门特马今晚开奖 provides biotechnology students with an authentic biology research experience in their first semester at 澳门特马今晚开奖 through Tiny Earth, a collaborative project that addresses the pressing global challenge of the diminishing supply of effective antibiotics.
Through the Tiny Earth network, biology students search for novel antibiotics produced by common soil microorganisms. This work not only teaches students important laboratory techniques and skills, but also provides an outstanding opportunity to experience the scientific method firsthand and to contribute to solving a pressing health crisis. Biology students can then expand on these experiences later in their academic careers to develop more detailed research projects and present their findings at national scientific meetings.
