UIUC’s Integrative Biology BS dismantles disciplinary silos to examine living systems across spatial and temporal scales. Foundation courses weave molecular genetics and physiology into organismal biology, ecology, and evolutionary theory. Field stations in the Illinois prairie, marine labs in the Florida Keys, and tropical partnerships in Costa Rica anchor hands-on discovery, while the CAVE virtual-reality facility lets students navigate 3-D food-web models. Graduates translate systems thinking into breakthroughs in conservation, bioinformatics, public health, and biotech entrepreneurship.
