Bachelor of Arts or Science - Biology

Study neotropical ecology in Ecuador. Work with professional biologists at the Institute of Neuroscience. Experiment in UO's state-of-the-art, underground Lokey Laboratory. Students can do all this and more with a degree in biology from the UO. UO offers five areas of emphasis that students can use to focus their study:

No matter which focus students choose, they will be encouraged to explore several fields within the biology department to gain a better understanding of the multi-tiered structures of life. Students will learn from scientists who are making major contributions to current knowledge in their fields, and have the opportunity to work closely with them on research projects. More than 50 percent of Oregon undergraduates participate in faculty research—they can even earn academic credit for it. A degree in biology will prepare students for a career in health, ecology, marine biology, biomedical research, and more.
