Biology-Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Concentration
Western Washington University - Bellingham
The Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCDB) concentration focuses upon the biological molecules that make up cells, their interactions, and how these molecular and cellular interactions underpin ecology, evolution, and development of organisms. This concentration is anchored by a course in techniques for isolating, manipulating, and analyzing DNA, preparing you for advanced coursework and for joining faculty research labs. You will also take two additional courses associated with the MCDB concentration, including another 300- or 400-level lab. You will build the rest of your personalized curriculum around your interests, with guidance from your academic advisor. Students interested in this concentration may wish to consider additional coursework in organic chemistry and biochemistry. This degree will prepare you for basic and applied research in molecular, cellular, and/or developmental biology, whether applied to biomedical, agricultural, environmental, or other questions in the life sciences.
