Biology Programs at Michigan State University

Biology Programs at Michigan State University provide a connected, supportive, and collaborative learning experience so students develop the fundamental biological knowledge and scientific practices needed to succeed in subsequent courses and life science careers. As part of Michigan State University's College of Natural Science, these courses offer introductory lecture and lab courses in cell and molecular biology and organismal and population biology.
In lecture courses, students actively use principles of evolution, biological structure and function, biological matter and energy transformation, and biological utilization of information to develop mechanistic, model-based explanations of important biological phenomena. 
In lab courses, students engage in inquiry-driven, course-based undergraduate research experiences to build on and further explore what they have learned in lectures.
