Life Sciences Program Instructors
Life Sciences Courses and Instructors
The Life Sciences Program consists of all LIFE prefix courses.
- These courses support the life science majors and several non-life science majors across campus.
- The number of LIFE courses taken by life science and other majors is determined by the departments that offer the majors.
- The curriculum intends to provide life science majors with both breadth and depth in the basic life sciences, and non-science majors with exposure to key concepts in biology and an understanding of the connections between science and society.
- Program courses expose students to the fields of cell biology, genetics, ecology, and evolution, and familiarize students with the diversity of life on the planet.
