Biology is the study of life. Perhaps the most fascinating examples of adaptations for life occur in extreme environments such as salt marshes, deep ocean vents, hot springs, and arctic tundra. Students examine a wide diversity of organisms "living on the edge" in extreme environments to investigate the pivotal relationship between structure and function. Fulfills the natural science core requirement for nonscience majors.
