The intercollege Division of Biological Sciences coordinates campuswide programs in basic biology and administers undergraduate programs in the core disciplines of biology on behalf of the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the College of Letters and Science.
The division has five sections that represent the major themes of modern biology: Evolution and Ecology; Microbiology; Molecular and Cellular Biology; Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior; and Plant Biology. Core courses in biological sciences, the Biological Sciences major, and the Bodega Marine Laboratory Program, are offered jointly by the sections of the division. Each section also offers courses and one or more majors focusing on the core disciplines.
All faculty are primary members of one section and some faculty are secondary members of a second section as well. See "Sections of the Division," following, for a list of faculty in each section.

Choice of College. The Bachelor of Arts degree is offered only by the College of Letters and Science. The Bachelor of Science degree is offered by both the College of Letters and Science and the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. The major requirements are the same in each college, but there are differences in the college requirements and policies. See the Undergraduate Education chapter college sections in this catalog for more information.
Student Services. Student affairs officers at the division's Dean's Office, 202 Life Sciences Addition, and advising staff in section offices provide information and counseling on the major programs and courses offered by the division.
