University of Arizona Molecular and Cellular Biology students learn cutting edge biology through innovative teaching methods and hands-on research experiences.
MCB degrees provide a strong foundation in genetics, development, and biotechnology to pursue careers in medicine and other health care fields, pharmaceutical and biology research, and education.
We aim for students to develop a deep understanding of current ideas and problems in molecular and cellular biology. At the same time, we help to build foundational skills in logic, reasoning, self-expression and communication - skills relevant to any career.
Coursework emphasizes active learning and problem-solving skills, encourages interdisciplinary pursuits, and is committed to providing hands-on and intellectually challenging experiences in research labs.
Students prepare for creative futures in the pursuit of scientific discovery, science education, health, or as knowledgeable representatives of science in society.
