Biology Majors are presented with an integrated concept of life as manifested in animals, plants, and microorganisms. This concept reveals characteristics common to all forms of life and accentuates the dependence of one form or another, either directly or indirectly. We endeavor to demonstrate the interrelationships and organization of living organisms with their abiotic environment. This and other thought-provoking exercises will provide the necessary background for advanced study toward a career in the medical fields, academe, research, or in education. Morris College has long been associated with producing excellent educators throughout the Southeast.
