Integrative Biology
Integrative and Marine Sciences Division
Biology is one of the traditional liberal arts; it informs us about ourselves, the dynamics of the natural world, and how we interact with our environment.

As an integrative biology major at the University of Maine at Machias, you’ll learn in the classroom, laboratory and in the unique outdoors of coastal Maine. UMaine Machias is located mere minutes from the Atlantic Ocean. We are set among pristine forests and unspoiled rivers and lakes.
UMaine Machias students actively study biology, combining critical laboratory techniques with wide-ranging field explorations to investigate the central practices of integrative biology. Your classes will be small and you will have ample opportunity to work closely with your instructors throughout your studies. From genetics to ecology; the study of microscopic species to the large mammals of the forests of Maine – you will become familiar with the full range of biological science. Majors also benefit from a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Geographic Information Systems Lab, which is a powerful tool for mapping and biological research.
