Westminster's Biology Program

Why Study Biology

You'll explore the fascinating fields of ecology, microbiology, ornithology, genetics, and cell biology. Students are prepared to attend graduate school in the sciences; attend medical or veterinary school; teach biology in secondary schools; enter the biotechnology job market; or apply their knowledge to other fields.

Why Choose Westminster's Program?

We emphasize fieldwork, experimentation, and research skills. Internships, research projects, cooperative ventures, and other avenues of scientific inquiry are available.

Small class sizes promote personal instruction and opportunities abound for collaborative projects with other students. Students have access to our computer-equipped laboratories, greenhouse, and our on-campus aquatic field area.

What Else

Organizations, such as the Pre-Med Society or Science Club, foster student interaction and connections with the scientific community. We offer an academic major and minor in Biology for a B.S. degree, as well as a teaching major and minor.
