生物系的部分提供大學生、研究生以及博士後的訓練課程。從普通生物到更專門的學習研究領域，各種生物學的觀點——包括分子生物學、生化學、遺傳學以及細胞生物學——呈現出本科系的核心課程。這些課程被設計來提供自然科學方面紮實的背景，並發展出具整合性的科學前景。
研究生課程（是美國最佳的前三名生物科技學程之一）與大學生課程，均提供學生一個刺激思考的環境，有許多研究機會與最先進的設施。這些課程以結合與科目相關的實習課程——包含計劃導向的研究機會與教員支持的實驗室——來加強實驗的實際操作。各種程度的學生都被鼓勵去熟悉進階的研究技術，並參與專題課程的活動。

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.
