FUTURE CBS UNDERGRADUATES

One of only a handful of colleges devoted exclusively to the biological sciences, the College of Biological Sciences offers the advantages of a small college within a large public research university.

As a student, you will experience the best of both worlds; access to cutting-edge facilities and world-class faculty as well as a strong sense of community and camaraderie.

Among the most qualified at the University, our undergraduates are highly motivated and well-rounded. More than 80 percent of freshmen entering the college in 2010 graduated in the top 10 percent of their high school class. In addition to their academic achievements, CBS students play a vital role in the life of the University through athletics, volunteering, the arts, and student government.

As a student in the College of Biological Sciences, you'll have the opportunity to gain hands-on research experience working directly with faculty conducting basic research relating to human health, agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental sciences. They regularly publish discoveries in top scientific journals and are recognized for teaching and research excellence with honors within the university and beyond.

There's no better time to study the biological sciences as they expand and evolve at a rapid pace. CBS offers an unparalleled education in the biological sciences with seven undergraduate majors that will prepare you to pursue a rewarding career as a doctor, teacher, genetic counselor, researcher, entrepreneur or any of a number of other possibilities.
