Biological Sciences
At Western, Biology is taught from a perspective that integrates the subcellular, cellular, organism, community and ecosystem levels. Students receive essential hands-on experiences in our innovative laboratory-only course, emphasizing student input into design and techniques. Our students are prepared to work on instrumentation such as GC, HPLC, refractometers, pH and conductivity meters.
