All undergraduate students in the Biology Department have an assigned faculty advisor who is able to give advice about the biology major. Freshmen are assigned advisors through the Academic Advising Center. Biology faculty members serve as advisors for sophomores, juniors and seniors.
Additional advice about the biology major may be obtained from Ms. Kristen Adrien, the Undergraduate Administrator for the Biology Department. Ms. Adrien is available in the Biology Office (Higgins 355) from Monday-Friday from 8:30-4:30. She will be able to either answer your question or direct you to a faculty member who can help you with your question.
Students may also wish to read our list of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) about the Biology Undergraduate Program.
Additionally, students may wish to consult our "Biology Checklist Forms." Students and advisors will use this form as a checklist to review each student's degree audit. We hope that these forms will enable both students and advisors to monitor a student's progress towards their biology degree and that they will serve as a foundation for advising meetings. Copies of the blank forms may be found below:
