Organismal Biology (IBIO) — Pre-Med (MIBO), Pre-Den (DIBO), Pre-Opt (OIBO)
The Integrative Biology option with the Organismal Biology major provides students with a broad perspective on biological sciences. Introductory courses cover concepts in biology and chemistry and lay a strong foundation for more specialized, upper-level coursework that spans the field of biology, including ecology, evolution, physiology, cell biology and microbiology. This flexible major can be fulfilled through a long list of elective courses and is designed to serve students interested in a broad range of careers related to biology, including basic research as well as applications in biotechnology, agriculture, and the environment. This major has been tailored to meet the requirements for students interested in pursuing careers in healthcare including medicine, dentistry and optometry.
