Biology-Math

How does the brain form memories? How do neurons coordinate activities? How do elephants decide where to travel next? Can we predict where a bird will nest? How do plants spread through a landscape? How will climate change affect plants?

As Biology is becomes a more quantitative science, the demand for mathematical biologists will continue to grow. Students with exceptional mathematics and science skills have the option of the Biology-Mathematics double major.  Unlike many double majors that at least five years to complete, the Bio-Math double major has been designed to be completed in four years. At right, Catherine Morrison '10, Biology Mathematics double major.

Biology-STS

Science Technology and Society (STS), offered by the Department of Humanities, integrates science and technology with the humanities and social sciences. The multidisciplinary approach of STS offers biology majors a unique opportunity to enhance their biology educational and expand their career options. This double major can be done with either the BA or BS in biology.

For more information contact the Director of the STS program, Prof. Robert Friedman or Karen Roach.
