Welcome to the Program in Biology at the University of Michigan

The Program in Biology encompasses a breadth of disciplines spanning all levels of organization and includes the study of diversity of organisms. With about 78 full-time faculty in the departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department (EEB) and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB), the Program offers seven concentrations (i.e., majors) and three academic minors. The study of biology opens a wide spectrum of career opportunities. Many life science concentrators go on to attend professional schools in the health sciences (medical, nursing, and dental school) or graduate study that leads to careers in academia, industry, or government. Others pursue careers in conservation biology, law, journalism, teaching, and public health, among other options.
