Biology Majors & Minor
At A Glance
Biologists study the evolution of life, which connects molecules to cells, tissues to systems, and organisms to ecosystems. Our biology majors are given hands-on opportunities to explore a range of biology topics, from discovering phages during introductory courses to exploring ecosystems across the globe. The curriculum at Carthage will prepare biology majors for academic and industrial research positions, graduate study in fields from conservation to molecular genetics, and successful entry into health-related careers.

Biologists study the evolution of life, which connects molecules to cells, tissues to systems, and organisms to ecosystems, through the unbroken chain of ancestors to descendants.
The curriculum at Carthage will prepare biology majors for academic and industrial research positions, graduate study in fields from conservation to molecular genetics, and entry into health careers.
Dive into exciting research
All freshman biology majors gain authentic research experience in introductory biology courses supported by the , and agencies such as the and support other ongoing experiments. Independent research opportunities are also available as part of the paid Summer Undergraduate Research Experience. Carthage biology students are also competitive for research positions in laboratories abroad and prestigious Fulbright fellowships.
Recent student research projects have involved novel antibiotic identification, cancer biology, physiology of carbon dioxide exposure, animal vocalizations, and paleontology. Students work with faculty mentorship on their own or in a small group, designing experiments, collecting and analyzing data, and making significant contributions to science. Student researchers present research results at a campus symposium, and many choose to share their findings at a regional or national scientific conference and prepare manuscripts for publication in disciplinary journals.

Get involved beyond the classroom
Student organizations such as Tribeta Biological Honor Society, Pre-Health Club, and Carthage United to Rescue the Earth (CURE) are popular among biology majors.
On faculty-led J-Term study tours, you can assist with medical care or water quality in Nicaragua or hunt for dinosaur fossils with a renowned paleontologist in Montana. Other recent study tours have taken students to learn about life in places such as Arizona, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Belize, Honduras, Singapore, Taiwan, and China.
Explore a variety of special academic options
PRE-HEALTH
Aspiring healthcare professionals frequently consult a faculty coordinator to select courses matching their abilities and goals. Carthage pre-health students can apply for early admission to healthcare professional schools and sometimes bypass the entrance exam.
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is an interdisciplinary program focused on solving real-world problems by scientific inquiry using tools from multiple fields. Concentrations include: computational, molecular, and environmental.
