	Intercollege undergraduate biology major debuts (Sep 7, 1999)
		The motivation for the new intercollege major offered by the Colleges of Letters and Science and Agricultural and Life Sciences, Sharkey said, was to provide a broad gateway to biology, to give undergraduates a unified, big-picture look at biology before they settle on a life-sciences niche to call home.
		Alternatively, students can remain in the major throughout their undergraduate years, according to Sharkey, and be well-served by it.
		That there is a demand for such a broad gateway to the biological sciences is reflected by the fact that more than 130 students declared the program as their major before a single class was held this semester.
