Biology Major/Minor Information

Professor Timna Wyckoff

"People ask me all the time whether pursuing a science degree at a liberal arts institution is 'enough science.' Yes! An undergraduate student just can't beat the breadth of education across many areas combined with just the right amount of focus in your major...and more breadth to explore several aspects of that field. That's biology at a liberal arts institution like Morris."

—Timna Wyckoff, associate professor of biology
