By choosing to study biology at Acadia students will work closely with the professors to explore all facets of life from molecules to ecosystems and from marine to arctic terrestrial systems. A key component of many labs is the study of whole organisms. Acadia offers a balance of state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor laboratory experiences, enhanced by the diversity of local habitats, as well as preserved specimens available from the E.C. Smith Herbarium and Acadia Wildlife Museum.
