Why does the University of Illinois have two different majors in biology: IB (integrative biology) and MCB (molecular and cellular biology)?
There are two schools of biology in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Schools are groups of related departments that have joined together to pool their expertise, resources, and teaching. These two schools allow different groups of biologists to focus on different priorities, so that the campus is strong in all areas of biology. Each school offers its own major. Although the emphasis within the two majors is different, each major provides a complete introduction to the study of biology.
