Biology

Academic Maps We offer an outstanding Biology curriculum with opportunities to pursue various careers in the health professions and laboratory sciences or in life sciences such as ecosystems biology, wildlife conservation and agriculture. Our curriculum stresses hands-on experiences providing essential skills that are an integral part of modern molecular biology. Many courses afford opportunities for working outside studying the local flora and fauna of the region. Faculty teach their own laboratory courses and low student-to-faculty ratios ensure one-on-one learning opportunities. Students are also encouraged to participate in faculty research projects focused on topics ranging from bird diet and climate change to organ regeneration to antibiotic-resistant microbes to cancer treatment.

100%

That’s how many of our students conduct field work. So if you want your Biology coursework to be hands-on, this is the place for you.
Impacting our Community

We make it our goal to spread our love for neuroscience and brain function by hosting free community events like our Brain Awareness Week.
Get an Inside Look

Through our partnerships with organizations like the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, our students get to explore cutting-edge research techniques in a real lab environment.
Faculty Research

Our faculty members are not just excellent teachers, they’re deeply involved in research projects and publishing their findings. And our Biology students are right beside them, helping with the research and learning how it’s done.
