Planning Your Program
Richmond offers two majors, one concentration and one minor through the biology department, in addition to a master’s degree. Students may also choose to major in biochemistry and molecular biology.
Once students declare the biology major, typically some time during their sophomore year, they are assigned a faculty member who will serve as their advisor and help them develop a program of study to achieve their educational goals.
In addition to demanding coursework, students enjoy unparalleled opportunities for research and experiential learning that reinforce the material they are learning in the classroom. This dual emphasis in classical learning and research is what makes University of Richmond biology majors so successful after graduation.
