Biology

Students pursuing biomedical sciences work side by side with faculty investigating stem cell therapies, immune function, neurological disease, and the cellular mechanisms of human illness, with real opportunities to contribute to peer-reviewed research before they ever cross the graduation stage. Students drawn to marine and environmental science step into one of the most ecologically rich field settings in the country, with 300 acres of wetlands on the main campus and 150 acres of Gulf Coast barrier island ecosystems on Santa Rosa Island serving as living laboratories. Both paths lead to exceptional outcomes, whether that means earning a seat in medical, dental, pharmacy, or graduate school, or launching a career in conservation, fisheries, environmental regulation, or scientific research. The department is home to NIH-funded research and two NIH-supported scholar programs, reflecting a deep and sustained commitment to undergraduate science at the highest level.
