Advising

Supporting your studies

We are committed to supporting you throughout your time at IU Biology. Our undergraduate advising staff can assist those who are interested in or are pursuing undergraduate degrees in biology, biotechnology, microbiology, or molecular life sciences. Those who are interested in or are pursuing a degree in biotechnology should contact the undergraduate advisor specifically designated to assist in biotechnology.

In addition to our award-winning advisors, students can also seek help from our many undergraduate and graduate students who serve as tutors for Biology courses. The university also offers assistance with writing assignments, through Writing Tutorial Services, located in the Wells Library Information Commons.
