Undergraduate Majors
The Major in Experimental Biology
Aims to provide a detailed understanding of the principles, mechanisms
and techniques available to explore through scientific experimentation the physiology,
immunology, parasitology, virology, pathology, and genetic/propagative potential of
selected organisms.
A Major in Experimental Biology cannot be taken with any
other major or minor because of the number of credits required.
