at UMaine offers students a diverse set of courses, allowing them to tailor the program to their interests within all major areas of biology. As a result, students can focus on topics as diverse as medical physiology, animal behavior, and field ecology all within the same program, with each student graduating as a well-rounded biologist. We offer both BS and BA degree options. Students can choose the basic program in biology or add a concentration in ecology, entomology, or pre-medical studies. <\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_dc5546-50\">We also offer a minor in neuroscience. Interested students can include independent research under the guidance of a faculty mentor. The B.S. program has greater focus on organic chemistry, physics, and math, preparing students for careers in human or veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, scientific research and development, and conservation biology. The BA program in biology has greater flexibility to pair with a minor or second major, and solidly prepares students for careers such as educators, artists, writers, lawyers, economists, public policymakers, politicians and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-3 kt-inner-tab6dd1da-c3\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7\"]{font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading54737_c52eb8-b7\">The University of Maine is the ideal place to study biology. We have well-equipped teaching laboratories and easy access to nearby forests, fields, streams, ponds, and wetlands \u2014 the ultimate outdoor classroom! Many of our courses incorporate active learning techniques, which research shows improves student learning, performance, and persistence. Our introductory lab courses are inquiry-based, giving students the skills to ask their own scientific questions, and design and carry out experiments to find answers, to actually be scientists from their very first day.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading54737_87fee3-67,
