Program Description

Western Michigan University's biology program provides students with the latest knowledge and training in several areas of life science. This includes human biology as it relates to medical fields, although the program is not limited to or concentrated in this area.

Your coursework will include biological sciences as well as chemistry, physics, math and statistics. You'll complete a capstone experience, which includes a senior seminar class in a specialized area or independent research carried out with a WMU professor.
