Undergraduate research is one of the most important benefits of the biology program. Research in biology is offered as an elective course, in which you:

• spend 12 hours per week in laboratory research
• work one-on-one with a faculty member
• co-author peer-reviewed papers with faculty
• present at regional and national conferences
• boost your resume before applying to postgraduate study

There are also opportunities for biology majors to work with our local partners, such as:

• The Bronx Zoo
• The Albert Einstein College of Medicine
• The Bronx VA Medical Center
• New York Botanical Gardens
