Biology is the study of all living things—how they reproduce, grow, and evolve and how they relate to each other and to their environment. Biologists examine the chemical and cellular basis of life and life's many levels of organization, from molecular to ecosystem. They also study inheritance, molecular genetics, the biology of populations, behavior, the flow of energy in living systems, and evolutionary and ecological relationships.

Offered at WSU Vancouver: Bachelor of Science in Biology, Biology minor, Zoology minor, Environmental Science minor.
