Biology
Welcome to the Carleton College Department of Biology.
Biology offers courses that emphasize both the diversity and unity of life. This emphasis is coupled with an examination of the basic processes of biology, including the mechanisms of heredity, regulation, development and evolution. Our majors consider biology from points of reference that reflect life's different levels of organization, from biochemical and molecular, through cellular and organismic, to population and ecosystem levels.
Carleton Professor Susan Singer serves as guest panelist on SCIENCE FRIDAY (November 11, 2011)
