Biology may be the major for students fascinated by the science of life, curious about the diversity of living organisms that inhabit everyone's planet and the complex ways they function, from molecules all the way up to ecosystems, and those who want a future with a wide range of opportunities including careers in healthcare, industry, research, and environmental biology.
The biology major at Utica University educates students about life science by helping them to become active scientists. They benefit from extremely personalized training and an innovative curriculum that features a strong focus on research methodology, hands-on learning, and rich opportunities for both laboratory and field research, both independently and with faculty. Students can earn research credit, gain valuable field and lab experience, and publish their research in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Many biology professors have been honored with the college's awards for distinguished teaching, research, or both.
