The primary mission of the Department of Biological Sciences is to provide an exceptional education to both undergraduate and graduate students.

If you have a passion for understanding how cells and living organisms function, and enjoy scientific experimentation and field or laboratory studies, then you should consider majoring in Biological Sciences. Biological Sciences is the study of living organisms (bacteria, algae, protozoans, fungi, plants, and animals). It is a large discipline that encompasses molecules and cells, organs and organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, and ecosystems. Biologists study cell and molecular Biological Sciences, genetics and evolution, organismal Biological Sciences, systematics and ecology, and behavior.
