Biology Details

Biology Department

Biology is the study of life from both basic and applied perspectives across a broad range of analytical levels, from the molecule and cell to the organism and ecosystem. The major in biology prepares students for careers in the biological, environmental, and medical sciences.

The biological sciences play a key role in human society from the conservation of biodiversity to medicine. The Department of Biology strives to cultivate an exciting academic environment to study, research, and contemplate the broad spectrum of the life sciences.

. Our teaching philosophy is founded on a belief in the value of a personal educational experience, achieved through small classes and laboratories, and opportunities for independent study.

We also provide opportunities for students in all academic programs to gain a greater appreciation for the nature of science and its impacts on society.
