生物系的部分提供大学生、研究生以及博士后的训练课程。从普通生物到更专门的学习研究领域，各种生物学的观点——包括分子生物学、生化学、遗传学以及细胞生物学——呈现出本科系的核心课程。这些课程被设计来提供自然科学方面扎实的背景，并发展出具整合性的科学前景。
研究生课程（是美国最佳的前三名生物科技学程之一）与大学生课程，均提供学生一个刺激思考的环境，有许多研究机会与最先进的设施。这些课程以结合与科目相关的实习课程——包含计划导向的研究机会与教员支持的实验室——来加强实验的实际操作。各种程度的学生都被鼓励去熟悉进阶的研究技术，并参与专题课程的活动。

The Department of Biology offers undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training programs ranging from general biology to more specialized fields of study and research. The quantitative aspects of biology - including molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and cell biology - represent the core of the academic program. Courses are designed to provide a solid background in the physical sciences and to develop an integrated scientific perspective.
Both the graduate program (ranked among the top three biological science graduate programs in the nation) and undergraduate program offer students an intellectually stimulating environment, with numerous research opportunities and state-of-the-art facilities. These programs emphasize practical experimentation by combining course-related laboratory exercises with research opportunities in project-oriented and faculty sponsored laboratories. Students at all levels are encouraged to acquire familiarity with advanced research techniques and to participate in seminar activities.
