Description
The Biology program features integrated lab/lecture blocks that emphasize active project-based learning models, allowing our majors to engage in scientific investigations from the molecular level to entire ecosystems. While our core classes focus on disciplinary content and the skill sets of experimentation, the upper division course work allows students to engage in research methodology and concentrate on an area of interest. Our curriculum is enriched by significant laboratory and the field work. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary work and allow electives to be taken in other science and math departments. What’s more, students receive credit for undergraduate research, internships, and teaching assistantships. Faculty take advantage of Westminster’s unique location between the Wasatch Mountains and Great Salt Lake to leverage the natural world into an extension of our laboratories.
