What You'll Study

Cell and Molecular Biology at Union takes you deep into the science of living systems at their smallest and most fundamental scale. You'll build the rigorous foundation in cellular and molecular processes that serious scientific careers and competitive graduate programs require.

Three people work together at a lab bench with scientific equipment and notes. One person instructs the others, who are focused on handling lab materials. Shelves with glassware and cabinets are visible in the background.
Several students sit at lab benches in a classroom using microscopes and examining papers, with laptops, notebooks, and laboratory equipment visible—immersed in their Conservation Biology degree studies.

Science at the Frontier, Ethics at the Center

At Union, exploring the molecular world is inseparable from thinking carefully about what we do with what we discover. Faculty help you develop both scientific mastery and ethical wisdom — preparing you for a career in the life sciences that is as thoughtful as it is skilled.
