CU Boulder is unique in that we have three different biology majors, each with its own focus. The biology advising team is here to help you identify which major is right for you.

What is the Best Major for Me?
This is a personal question that you will explore when you speak with an academic advisor. One of the best ways to explore this question is to look at the course descriptions for the upper division courses. The right major for you is the major that you will enjoy!
Students can start in one biology major and change to another any time as they learn more about their own interests. Many classes are accepted across majors.
