Biology
Northwestern's biology major is intentionally broad-based to give you options when you graduate. With an education that covers all the different forms of biological study, you'll be prepared to do research, work in a lab, head to graduate school, or—with an additional major in secondary education—teach middle and high school science. You'll also leave Northwestern with an appreciation for the way God reveals himself in creation.
