Biology is a challenging, detail-driven subject – one of the fundamental branches of the natural sciences. As a biology student, you'll explore complex topics that range from the molecular to the organic, to the ecological. You'll go deep – and broad – investigating the fundamentals of natural life. As you move from course to course within your major, you will do more than obtain a collection of stand-alone lessons. You will apply the scientific method and place it and the knowledge that it has produced within the larger context of the liberal arts. The small, supportive classes and highly dedicated professors help each and every student thrive in the classroom, in the lab, and during individual advisory sessions. Plus, research opportunities abound, from the student-accessible labs on campus (where you can get some hands-on practice with serious equipment), to field sites in urban Atlanta and natural areas throughout the state.
