The department offers a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in biology, and jointly with the department of physics, a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in biophysics. A minor is offered in biology. Graduate work leading to the Master of Science degree is also offered. For further information, see the (iGraduate Bulletin}.
