Learn by doing from day one as you explore a future in biology. While biology encompasses many fields – such as conservation, genetics, microbiology, physiology and more – you will benefit from a collaborative, hands-on approach led by master faculty who are eager to help you answer life’s biggest questions through meaningful, high-level research. Study microbes, genes and molecules in health and disease using cancer cells and model organisms ranging from yeast to zebrafish; carry out organismal, field and environmental research projects; and co-author research publications that will shape the scientific community for years to come.
The Biology Department offers majors in Biology , Cellular and Molecular Biology , and Environmental Biology . Minors in Biology are also available.
This program is part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the centerpiece of DePauw's three-school model .
Facilities available to Biology departmental majors include the the 520-acre DePauw Nature Park, greenhouses, animal facilities, cell culture and molecular biology labs and the Buehler Biomedical Imaging Center.
