The Honors Program in the School of Biological Sciences further enhances the educational experience for the best students.īiology students with a broad interest in the area can opt to complete a major in Biological Sciences. The set of core classes that instructs students in the concepts of biology, the advanced classes that allow a deep understanding of specialized aspects of biology, the laboratory courses that convey the practical aspects of problem-solving in biology, and the research experiences that engage students in the real excitement in revealing new information about biology, come together to provide an extraordinary experience for students.

The Excellence in Research Program allows students to present their work and be recognized for their performance with a series of awards and publication of their reports in the School’s online Journal of Undergraduate Research. There is also no feeling of excitement greater than finding out something about the world that no one has ever known before, a feeling afforded in biology only by participation in research. It is in these situations that faculty train students to think in a sophisticated way about real-world problems. Since biology is a laboratory discipline, students complete a series of laboratory courses in which they learn both the techniques and approaches needed to solve problems in biology.įinally, the faculty expect that most students will engage in cutting-edge research in one of more than 250 laboratories and medical clinics in the School of Biological Sciences and the UCI School of Medicine. The core set of courses in biology continues into the second year, featuring genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology, followed in the third and fourth year by a choice of advanced courses in biology. All first-year students are introduced to basic concepts in ecology and evolutionary biology, as well as cellular and molecular biology. The School has recently redesigned the curriculum to remain on the cutting edge of biological education. The School of Biological Sciences is dedicated to providing students with a unique course of study that fosters a deep appreciation for the exciting facts and concepts in the field, an education that allows graduates to excel in their chosen careers. We are solving problems today whose solutions were unimaginable even a few years ago, and implications for our society, our health, and our environment are profound.
This is the ideal time to be studying biology.
