The Department of Biology and Biomedical Sciences provides students with the scientific knowledge and the ethical understanding to stand as responsible stewards of the earth. With evolution as an organizing concept, our programs develop the skills necessary for critical and creative thinking, thoughtful and careful analysis, and sound judgment.
We provide students with a hands-on approach to the exploration of scientific methods. These important skills are needed to advance one's scientific knowledge and, moreover, are critical in preparing students for the challenge of exciting careers in the biological sciences.
