The Biology Major Professor: David Thomas Associate Professors: Mark Schram and Tim Lindblom Assistant Professor: Han Chuan Ong Biology is the study of life — in all its abundance, variety, and complexity. Students in the Biology major at Lyon College gain a broad knowledge of biological fact and theory, from the molecular to the ecosystem level. They develop their abilities to observe, analyze, and solve problems involving living systems. Both Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees are available in biology. The B.S. degree is recommended for students interested in the health professions, a graduate degree, or employment in biologically oriented fields.
