Overview

Biology connects everything from molecules and cells to whole organisms, populations and ecosystems. As a Biological Sciences major at EIU, you’ll explore how living systems function, change and interact while building a strong foundation in areas such as cell and molecular biology, genetics, evolution, physiology, ecology and organismal biology.

You’ll also learn how scientists ask questions and find answers. Through laboratory and field experiences, you’ll develop skills in observation, experimentation, data collection, analysis and scientific communication. As you move through the program, you can explore topics that match your interests and career goals, whether you’re drawn to health professions, wildlife and environmental work, research, biotechnology or graduate study.
