Who We Are

The Biology Department offers degrees in Biology, Applied Human Biology, Ecology, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and Physiology to prepare students for entry into post graduate professional schools and diverse careers in the field of Biology.

We are committed to immersing students in the processes of science by engaging them in authentic research projects both in our classrooms and research laboratories. We also provide a comprehensive Pre-Professional Health Sciences program that supports students pursuing careers in the health sciences through individual mentorship and a curriculum tailored to meet students’ advising needs.
