Department of Biology

Grow, evolve and thrive

In addition to comprehensive curriculum, you will enjoy lab and field activities that extend learning beyond the classroom. All students are encouraged to pursue research, education abroad experiences and internships.

We drive individual and professional development through a tailored advisement process. Our faculty — active scientists — often serve as mentors for students involved in their research.

Both graduate and undergraduate students have opportunities to co-author published papers and present at conferences, experiences that build a foundation for the professional world and graduate school.
