Program Description
When you understand the functions of living organisms, you have the ability to know how every element of life operates within them, right down to the molecule.
As a biology: cellular, molecular, and biomedical science major, you will explore molecular interactions that both drive and regulate cellular and physiological processes. As you work to gain understanding of biological concepts, you will have the opportunity to take part in research projects and learn the latest techniques in the laboratory.
CMU's cellular, molecular, and biomedical science major is a pivotal launch pad for success in graduate school. Both bachelor and graduate degrees will help you forge a career path in biology you're excited about and ready for. CMU's $95 million Biosciences Building is the largest capital project in the university’s 120-plus year history. The four-story, 169,000-square-foot building will dramatically advance CMU’s instructional learning and scientific research space.
As a Carnegie-classified doctoral research institution, CMU's undergraduate students work closely with faculty on cutting-edge research questions in the fields of microbiology, cellular and molecular biology, physiology, developmental biology and genetics.
