In the fall semester of 2018, we began offering an interdisciplinary degree in Molecular Life Sciences (MLS) jointly with the Department of Biology.
Created with the pre-professional in mind, the MLS degree will prepare you for graduate work, whether you plan to pursue medical school, dental school, or a Ph.D. in the life sciences.
You can learn more about this interdepartmental degree on the Molecular Life Sciences website.
For the first two years, you’ll focus on a selection of interdisciplinary courses in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math. In your junior year, you’ll select your preferred track: Molecular and Structural Biology or Cellular and Developmental Biology.
As part of this new degree, we have designed several new 400-level Molecular Life Sciences courses that provide understanding of important cellular processes in a level of depth not currently offered elsewhere on campus. These courses are open to all eligible students, not just MLS majors.
