Biology encompasses areas ranging from molecular biology to ecosystem ecology. This breadth of inquiry is reflected in our curriculum and in faculty and student research. Our joint missions of teaching and research strongly complement each other and provide an educational experience of very high quality.
Mission & Vision Statements
Our mission is to provide an outstanding learning environment that integrates education, scholarship, and service to actively engage students in the biological sciences and to foster their development as lifelong learners.
