Overview
The Biology program at the Reed College draws strength from a long-standing tradition of combining research and teaching in ways that benefit both our students and our faculty. The historic and continued success of Reed biology majors demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach.
Opportunities
The support for biological teaching and research at Reed is exceptional, with resources and funds contributed from the college, from outside foundations, and from research grants to individual faculty.
Our facilities, equipment and technical support are first rate, with students using state-of-the-science materials and methods in both their laboratory coursework and original (often independent) research. Our students learn by doing biology, with the senior thesis providing the ultimate proof of that statement.
