A very diverse selection of life science classes are available for the
biology major at the University of Wyoming. Obviously as a student you can only become involved in a small subset of these courses. However, the combination of course-breadth and program flexibility allow you, the student, to customize your biology degree in the area of greatest interest to you.College of Agriculture
