Why Biology at Utah?


Even in this age of specialization, many of the most exciting discoveries occur at the boundaries between traditional fields of research. We believe that the best path to these discoveries is to encourage regular interactions with colleagues outside your own expertise to spark collaboration. Despite its large size and diversity, the School of Biological Sciences functions as a single entity. 

Whether you’re a transfer student, a first-generation college student, a graduate student, or postdoctoral fellow looking for that perfect classroom or research experience with a mentor, the School of Biological Sciences wants to hear from you.
