Santa Clara University

Biology Students learn about the scientific basis of life through rigorous courses and extensive laboratory work...

Participation in the faculty's active research programs
further enhances this experience.

Students in the Biology program benefit from a wide range of
educational experiences in the classroom, the laboratory, the
field and in the tropics. Classes also focus on the ethics of
modern biology and the recognition of key issues that arise
in the curriculum.

The biology major prepares students for challenging careers in the areas of biotechnology, education, health, and research.

Excellent academic advising, dedicated mentoring, and outstanding instruction demonstrate the biology department's commitment to the students' intellectual and personal development. The department  also offers courses designed for the University Core Curriculum.
