Effective January 1, 2008 the name of the department changed from Biological Sciences to Biology.

Additionally, effective immediately, our stand-alone MS program has been discontinued. Admission to the MS program in Biology is now restricted to current Stanford students.


The Department of Biology offers the following degrees programs:

  • The Undergraduate Major (BS) is intended for students wishing to study biology, enter medical school, or other graduate program in sciences.
  • The Undergraduate Minor is intended for students who have an interest in biology, and would like to study it with some direction.
  • The Coterminal (MS/BS) program is intended for students who are current undergraduates at Stanford, with an interest in simultaneously obtaining a Masters degree in Biology.
  • The Doctorate (PhD) program is intended for students who have a Bachelor’s and/or Master’s Degree.
