For the study of biology, the Institute provides the following
opportunities:
A new option in biology has been introduced into the four-yel;lr
undergraduate Course in Science. This option will include those
fundamental biological subjects that are an essential preparation
for work in any special field of pure or applied biology. This
three-year course will afford a far more thorough training in the
basic sciences of physics, chemistry, and mathematics than students
of biology, medicine, or agriculture commonly receive.
Special opportunities will also be offered for the pursuit of more
advanced courses and extended researches leading to the degree
of Doctor of Philosophy.
