This department emphasizes hands-on learning in the labs, which complements what you study in the classroom and familiarizes you with state-of-the-art, industry-grade equipment. You also have great access to professors who are world-class researchers and love to take on research projects with students to help them pursue their passions, prepare for graduate school, and most importantly — make a difference in the world.
The Biology Department works closely with the Center for Graduate School and Fellowship Advisement. This office offers pre-health advising for students interested in medical or healthcare careers, and connects students with prestigious fellowships and research grants.
Not only do you have these support services on campus, but you also have New York City at your disposal. Internships and opportunities at the American Museum of Natural History, the New York Botanical Gardens, the Bronx Zoo, and hundreds of medical centers and hospitals are just a short subway ride away from campus.
