An understanding of the tapestry of life comes not from a single discipline, but is woven from all of the Life Sciences: biochemistry, cell biology, genomics, developmental biology, neurobiology, psychology, ecology, and earth sciences. The avalanche of information available from these fields allows scientists to look at biological systems in unprecedented detail.
The key is to integrate knowledge across disciplines in order to understand organisms and their place in the ecosystem. The Life Sciences Program offers problem-based and inquiry learning experiences that will challenge you to think independently, and to apply the knowledge you gain.
