Biology is the study of the living world around us. It explores the structure and function of living organisms including animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses. Through one-on-one interaction with our faculty, our students gain in-depth experience in the process of science, learn laboratory techniques, as well as share in the excitement of scientific discovery.?

The curriculum for the biology major has been designed so that students meet a set of specific goals before graduation.? It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the necessary documentation and work with their advisor to ensure that the proper classes and experiences meet the criteria for all of the goals of the Biology major.? Once satisfied, the advisor will sign the?Portfolio Requirement Checklist?and forward it to the Biology Chair with the appropriate documentation to note completion of these goals.
