The Department of Biology focuses on areas of modern biology and biotechnology. Our biology department helps students to prepare for employment in industry, government, health professions, and research laboratories, or to pursue advanced degrees in the biological sciences.
The Biology department focuses on the technological breakthroughs in areas such as biochemistry, botany, ecology, genetics, microbiology, molecular biology, and physiology are being used to solve problems in agriculture, the environment, and medical oriented industries. Preparing students at all levels in the education system to work in the sciences is important to solving future problems and making new discoveries. The Department of Biology focuses on areas of modern biology and biotechnology offering a degree in two specializations: B.S. General Biology and B.A. Biology Teaching. The specializations include a series of seven core courses fundamental to all areas of biology.
