Biology (New York City)

While numbers are trending in a positive direction—women, as well as Hispanic, Black, American Indian, and Alaskan Native people are all pursuing advanced degrees in STEM at increasing levels—lack of diversity in STEM remains a longstanding concern.

Located on the New York City campus, the Haskins Laboratory is a scientific research center producing ground-breaking and internationally recognized research on parasitic disease. The Laboratory offers you one-of-a-kind, valuable educational opportunities to conduct critical research alongside faculty and laboratory staff as you are immersed in real-life studies that impact human health around the world.

In our Biology program, you will have unique opportunities to work alongside faculty on their own research, providing you with an immersive experience in a professional lab environment.

The Biology department supports active chapters of Beta Beta Beta (the national biology honor society), Sigma Xi (the national scientific research society), and Nu Rho Psi (the National Honor Society in Neuroscience), connecting you to active learning communities, enhancing your learning experience, and providing resources for advising and career planning.
