The mission of the Biology major is to provide students with a broad education in biology. To this end, students are offered a range of lecture courses that span the molecular, physiological, and ecological levels of organization. Students also complete laboratory courses that help them learn how to design and test hypotheses, use cutting edge equipment, and interpret data.

Congratulations to the Class of 2019! 

Farewell and best wishes to the class of 2019 from the Barnard Biology faculty and staff!
