The Biology program at Notre Dame University-Louaize is designed to provide undergraduates with a rich scope
in biology to prepare potential scientists to be competent in their field. It also equips its
students with an educational background that enables them to join graduate and medical
schools. The program expands the knowledge in the life sciences to non-majors by
highlighting the impact of biology on daily life and society.
