Biology students and faculty at Amherst are engaged in studying how living organisms function, develop, reproduce, interact, behave, and evolve.
We offer courses for students with career interests in biology and medicine, and courses for students who are not majoring in science but who wish to study modern biology as part of liberal arts education.
The Biology faculty are active in research, and students participate in that research in several ways, notably through the Senior Honors Program.
We interact and collaborate with other natural science departments at Amherst, particularly Chemistry and Neuroscience. Also, since Amherst is a member of the Five College Consortium, Biology students at Amherst can take advantage of opportunities at the other four institutions. Examples are the Five College Coastal and Marine Sciences Program, based at Smith College, and a Five-College certificate program in Culture, Health and Science.
The Biology Department is housed in a modern Life Sciences Building, completed in 1996, containing state-of-the-art research and teaching facilities.
We offer a Summer Institute in Genomics for high school science teachers.
We are currently seeking to fill a genomic biology postdoctoral research and teaching position.
For more information about our faculty, courses, and other aspects of Biology at Amherst College, please explore our Web site. We welcome your questions and comments.
6. Program Info
Biology majors at Amherst study introductory Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, and then have a wide choice of upper-level Biology courses to fulfill the major. Many Biology majors choose to do a senior honors research project culminating in a thesis and graduation with departmental honors in Biology.
Amherst graduates who majored in Biology usually go on to graduate or professional school, and have careers in such fields as medicine, research, teaching, or the business world.
The Biology major consists of three categories of courses:
1. Two introductory biology courses (Biology 18 and 19):
Most students begin with Biology 18 in the spring semester of their first year. Biology 19, which is taught in the fall, has a chemistry prerequisite and is not normally available for first-year students. Students may choose to place out of either Biology 18 or Biology 19 by providing the Departmental Chair with written documentation of a Biology advanced placement grade of 5. A student exempted from Biology 18 and/or Biology 19 must substitute an upper-level course for each exemption. Students exempted from Biology 18 must substitute an upper division course from group 3(c) below, whereas students exempted from Biology 19 must substitute an upper division course from group 3(a) below.
2. Four courses in physical sciences and mathematics (Mathematics 11, Chemistry 11 or 15, Chemistry 12, and Physics 16 or 24 or 32).
3. Five additional courses in biology, chosen according to each student's needs and interests, subject to two constraints: First, at least three of the five must be laboratory courses. These courses are Biology 22, 24, 25, 29, 30, 32, 35, and 39. Second, the five courses must include at least one course in each of the three following areas:
(a) Molecular and cellular mechanisms of life processes: Molecular Genetics (Biology 25), Cell Biology (Biology 29), and Biochemistry (Biology 30), or Structural Biology (Biology 37);
(b) Integrative processes that show the relationship between molecular mechanisms and macroscopic phenomena: Developmental Biology (Biology 22), Genetic Analysis of Biological Processes (Biology 24), Animal Physiology (Biology 26), Immunology (Biology 33), and Neurobiology (Biology 35);
(c) Evolutionary explanations of biological phenomena: Ecology (Biology 23), Evolutionary Biology (Biology 32), and Animal Behavior (Biology 39).
Biology majors also take a Senior Comprehensive Examination administered by the Department.
Chemistry 11 and/or Chemistry 12 are requisites for several Biology courses. Students who are well-prepared in sciences are encouraged to begin their Biology major by taking Chemistry 11 or 15 in the fall of their first year. Students preparing for graduate study in life sciences should consider taking Chemistry 21 and 22, Physics 17, and a course in statistics in addition to the minimum requirements for the Biology major. Note that Chemistry 21 and 22 are requisites for Biology 30 and that prior completion of Physics 17 or 33 is a requisite for Biology 35.
Departmental Honors Program. Honors work in Biology is an opportunity to do original laboratory or field research and to write a thesis based on this research. The topic of thesis research is chosen in consultation with a member of the Biology Department who agrees to supervise the Honors work. Candidates for Honors in Biology will also attend the Biology Seminar, at which faculty, students, and visitors discuss current research in the life sciences. Honors candidates take Biology 77 and D78 in addition to the other requirements for the major, except that Honors candidates may take four rather than five courses in addition to Biology 18 and 19, subject to the laboratory and subject area constraints.
Courses for Students in Premedical and Other Health Professions. Students not majoring in Biology may fulfill the two-course premedical requirement in Biology by taking two laboratory courses in Biology. Students interested in health professions other than allopathic medicine should consult a member of the Health Professions Committee regarding specific requirements, and visit the Amherst Health Professions web page.
If you have questions about the Biology major, please e-mail biology@amherst.edu.

The
Admission Process
Grades and test scores don't measure all of the
characteristics that contribute to a positive experience at
Elms College. We look at many different factors:
- high school record
- standardized test scores
- personal recommendations
- interview
- the admissions essay
- extracurricular activities
Some of this information is required, and some is optional. All of it will help us make decisions that serve your best interests and those of the college.
The
Decision Process
Once your file is complete, our evaluators read your essay,
recommendations and interview evaluations, look at your
extracurricular activities and consider any other
information in your file, and try to develop as complete a
personal picture of you as possible.
The evaluator then makes a recommendation of admission or denial, and that recommendation is reviewed by the director. If they both agree that you should (or should not) be accepted, the admission process continues. (If the director is not in agreement or has any questions, they will meet to discuss the applicant�s file.)
If a student is being accepted, a decision letter is mailed. If a student is being denied admission or is being admitted on a conditional basis, the admission counselor will call the student to personally relay the decision.
Full-time admitted students are asked to submit a $200 enrollment deposit by May 1 in order to hold their place in the incoming class. After May 1, newly admitted students are asked to pay the $200 deposit within two weeks of receipt of the offer of admission or their financial aid award notice, whichever is later.
6. Program Info
Biology major at Elms College will be introduced to both domains of biology. Many of our graduates enter the health care field, either at the pre- or post-professional level.
The mission of the Biology Department is to provide the student with a broad theoretical and experimental background in the major areas of biology as preparation for graduate study, research, biology teaching, or medical, veterinary, or other professional graduate program.

6. Program Info
Biology is the study of life. It is a truly integrative discipline that encompasses topics ranging from molecules and cells to organs, organisms and ecosystems. The Biological Sciences Department at Mount Holyoke College offers students courses spanning this entire range. Students can study molecular, cellular and developmental biology, immunology, microbiology, genetics, anatomy, neurobiology, physiology, biomechanics, animal behavior, evolution and ecology. In addition, students can also explore other biology-related interests through one of our affiliated programs such as Neuroscience and Behavior or Biochemistry.
The program we offer for majors is general enough to provide a basis for continuing studies and intellectual growth. Students may wish to elect courses that provide competence in a variety of areas. On the other hand, a concentration in one or two areas is invaluable for more intensive study and original work and provides the only means for achieving the satisfaction that comes from thorough scholarship.

6. Program Info
Tufts Biology Department is unusual in providing a broad and comprehensive approach to study and research in the biosciences. Biochemists, developmental biologists and immunologists interact daily with ecologists, evolutionary biologists and conservation biologists in a single unified department. Because technological, environmental, and social challenges of the future will transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries, Tufts also encourages education and research that are interdisciplinary. The Biology Department has maintained a strong commitment to environmental literacy and to helping students understand the social dimensions of health care. Many biology majors are also involved in either the Environmental Studies program or the Community Health Program.
Tufts is among the top 25 most selective universities nationally. Our undergraduates are an intellectually gifted group and are serious about their studies. The Biology Department is committed to providing our undergraduates with a vital, modern education. Our goal is to help our undergraduates make the transition from the relatively passive role as student consumer of knowledge to the intellectually active role of colleague and generator of new knowledge. We recognize that different students will make this transition at different points in their academic careers and we are committed to helping ALL our students achieve this goal.

6. Program Info
Fourteen faculty currently offer a Bachelor of Science (with a General Biology or Marine Biology Option) to approximately 350 undergraduate majors (one of the largest majors at UMass Dartmouth). We view undergraduate education as critical to developing an understanding and application of the patterns and processes of life to students' own professional and personal lives, and to fostering an enduring "chaos of delight" with the living world.
Students in our Master of Science in Biology and Marine Biology programs enjoy strongly individualized guidance in areas allied to the research interests of the faculty.
Recent graduate student projects have been in fields such as molecular ecology, plankton ecology, harmful algal blooms, environmental microbiology, gene transcription, aquaculture, marine mammal biology, marine bioinvasions, biofouling, parasites of marine fishes, diatom morphometrics, and fisheries biology. Some projects have involved collaborative research with the National Marine Fisheries Service, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the UMass Cranberry Experiment Station, and the Mystic and New England Aquarium.
