The major couples a comprehensive biological, physical and quantitative sciences core with a variety of electives that can be catered to meet specific professional goals. Biology majors receive excellent training for graduate and professional programs.

Corvallis Campus students may choose to complete one transcript-visible option in Ecology, Genetics, Marine Biology, Physiology and Behavior, Pre-Dentistry/Biology, Pre-Education Biology, Pre-Medicine/Biology, or Pre-Veterinary Medicine. Options in the Biology major require fifteen or fewer additional credits (one term) beyond the basic Biology major and most students can complete the additional course work in four years. Additional information about the Biology Major and Options can be found in MyDegrees or the Integrative Biology website.
