The Davidson College Department of Biology provides students with a strong foundation in biology, enabling them to think critically about biological topics, to learn technical skills for solving biological problems, and to communicate biological information in oral and written formats. By offering courses that span the spectrum of biological disciplines, Davidson’s biology department prepares students for advanced studies in a wide variety of fields. Finally, the department’s curriculum prepares all students to take a leadership role in society by furnishing them with the tools to make informed decisions about scientific issues.
