UC Davis College of Biological Sciences

The University of California, Davis College of Biological Sciences (commonly referred to by students as the CBS) was established in 2005 and is one of four colleges and five schools on the campus of the University of California, Davis. Davis is the only UC campus that boasts a college dedicated solely to the study of biology, and is among only very few colleges in the US to have such an institution. The CBS offers nine undergraduate and graduate (M.S. or Ph.D) degrees, six undergraduate minors, and many classes and programs at the university. The majors housed in the CBS were previously part of the Division of Biological Sciences since 1971.[1]
