The mission of the Biology Program at the Stamford Campus
is to provide students with a solid foundation in the
biological and plant sciences. We offer a two semester
course for majors (Principles of Biology, Biology 107
and Biology 108) and a 1 semester course in General Botany
(Biology 110). In addition, we also offer a non-science
majors course, Foundations of Biology (Biology 102). Many
University students use our non-science majors course
to fulfill their general education requirements in a laboratory
science. We also offer a variety of upper level biology
courses including General Ecology (EEB 244), Biology of
Vertebrates (EEB 214), Biology of the Algae (EEB 290),
Human Genetics (MCB 200) and Microbiology (MCB 229). Each
of the advanced courses may be used to fulfill the requirements
of a general biology major or one of the other majors
in the life science departments in the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences or in the School of Agriculture. Persons
planning on taking the MCAT or other health-related standardized
tests are well served by the courses offered at the Stamford
Campus. The Stamford Campus has excellent laboratory facilities
for teaching and research. With small class sizes and
easier access to faculty, the Program prides itself in
offering the introductory student a strong introductory
program to modern biology.
