I’m currently a bio major at Stern. While I already took Bio 1 and 2 in high school (AP level), where we did learn evolution (and the teacher was basically “no arguing with me, this is what you need to know if you want to pass the AP, don’t dismiss it stam, I have some books, etc,” which I thought was a reasonable response). Upper bio courses rely on their being an understanding that evolution as a biological concept is in fact a thing. (And it absolutely is. You can debate about the macro, millions-of-years part if you’d like, but on a micro level it is a foundation of biology.) Evolution=/=denial of God, just BTW.

I don’t think that you will find anyone anywhere who will completely ignore evolution in an upper level bio course. They may tell students to disregard it, but it’s pretty fundamental in understanding how stuff works, even if it’s not constantly engaged with.
