Alternatives to Suspended Programs
The Department of Biological Sciences has consolidated our undergraduate programs. These changes result in programs that have broad appeal, provide greater flexibility and reflect the breadth and strengths of our department. As a result some programs have been suspended, but key areas of study within those programs may still be addressed in one of our current programs listed in the columns below.
Reference your area of interest in the first column to find how each of our current programs are complementary.
