Programs of Study

Elmhurst offers both a major and a minor in biology. Within the major, students may choose from several pre-professional and graduate-school tracks or prepare to teach secondary school. The College also offers a major in environmental geosciences with an optional concentration in biology through the Department of Geography & Geosciences.

The biology program at Elmhurst is based on the Core Curriculum, which emphasizes major concepts and the interrelationships among the subdisciplines of the science. This exposure to the broadest aspects of the science enables students to develop their areas of special interest through knowledge and experience in the field.
