Question How did you like the Biology program of this university?
Student: Niki Katoozi, '05

Answer Alum: Doug Kawahara, '76
UCSD Major: Biological Sciences, Revelle College
 

I finished by undergraduate work in 1976. That being said, the program has grown immensely in size and reputation. There are far more opportunities for a biology student than ever before. For me, working in a faculty member's lab was a significant step towards graduate school. Note that "working" means initially volunteering my time, working for credit via an honors project and eventually being hired as a Staff Research Associate in that lab. Few faculty would turn down and interested student willing to volunteer some time. In short, I may not have like every class I had to take in the biology program, but I thoroughly enjoyed the program when I was able find my own way to opportunities outside the standard course work.
