Overview

Enrolling in the biology program at Cedar Crest College will prepare you for entry into graduate studies in the biological sciences, as well as medical school, the field of education, or the workplace.

Earning your B.S. degree in biology will provide you with opportunities to:

Conduct hands-on research. You will begin participating in research as a first-year student, and you will do an independent research project or engage in research with a faculty mentor as early as your sophomore year. Some of Professor Richard Kliman’s students are involved in a research project (joint with researchers at Duke University) that is examining genetic recombination and molecular evolution in fruit flies.

Utilize first-rate laboratory facilities. Learn and do research with sophisticated instrumentation currently being used in the workplace.

Learn and practice leadership. Through coursework, research and presentations, you will develop essential leadership skills. As an upper-class student, you will also have the opportunity to mentor first-year students by serving as a research director for their research projects.

Apply for competitive internships. During the summer following your sophomore year, you may apply to participate in field experiences such as those provided by the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Undergraduates program.
