Description
St. Kate's biology major gives students an understanding of the major principles of biology in a manner that encourages the development of critical-thinking skills. Faculty members encourage students to take an active role in their own educational experiences and foster a cooperative - rather than competitive - learning environment in which women thrive. Students receive hands-on experience with advanced biological techniques and instrumentation.
