Students are at the center of the Biology Program at Waldorf University. Through carefully planned classes and activities, students develop their ability to think critically and scientifically. They also develop a heightened sense of curiosity: the basic attribute that drives science. Students are provided many opportunities to conduct scientific research, which helps prepare them to obtain prestigious internships and participate in cutting-edge research. Finally, students regularly present their research at scientific meetings where they network with professionals from other universities and agencies. About 90% of our graduates are accepted into graduate programs at major university, medical and other professional programs, or jobs in the biological sciences.
