Biology majors at Dana learn from experienced faculty who choose to mentor students rather than instruct them. All of our faculty have the highest academic degrees possible in their fields and have done research on everything from paleontology to how human activity affects stream environments.

As a major, you'll learn by doing experiments along with your classmates. Some of the experiments will be designed by your instructors and some will be thought up by you to explore your own specific interests. As one faculty member says, "At Dana, you tell us what you want to learn and we find a way for you to do that."

Biology majors can also choose to emphasize in one of four areas: Ecology, Environmental Studies, Biochemistry and Pre-Health.
No matter where you want to end up in life, a broad education from the Biology Department can get you there.
