The Chemistry Department has an excellent set of modern instruments (e.g. 400 MHZ NMR), comput- ers, and other equipment which are used by under- graduates in their laboratory courses and in research projects. This is in contrast to large universities where many instruments are reserved for graduate students only. Students at Bishop’s learnmuch from their extensive use of modern instrumentation and equipment, and benefit greatly from this knowledge in future employment and graduate studies.

Biology is the study of life. We address questions as miniscule as the factors controlling the expres- sion of a single gene, to as wide as changes to an entire ecosystem. The B.Sc. degree requires a strong grounding in the core sciences (math, physics, and chemistry). The B.Sc. is the best option if you intend to apply to grad- uate (M.Sc. or Ph.D.) or professional (e.g. medicine or physiotherapy) programs. Students with a strong in- terest in biology but not a strong grounding in the ba- sic sciences thrive in the B.A. Biology program. The B.A is much more flexible than the B.Sc., and many students pair it with a second B.A. major.

A student in the Classical Studies department will enter the world of the ancient Mediterranean. We focus especially on the civilizations of Greece and Rome and offer courses in their literature, mythol- ogy, history, culture, art, and archaeology. Students have the opportunity to learn Latin, the language of ancient Rome and medieval Europe, and Greek, the language of philosophy, tragedy, and the New Tes- tament.
