M.S. - Instructor Biology provides one of the cornerstones of a liberal education by increasing the knowledge and appreciation of oneself and of other living organisms in the ecosphere. The faculty of the Department have expertise in all the major areas of biology and environmental science including cell biology, genetics, molecular biology, microbiology, immunology, developmental biology, marine biology, ecology, and environmental geoscience.
All faculty conduct independent research projects.
Most of our classes are small ranging from 12 to 20 students which allows for greater interaction between the student and faculty. We take a personal interest in the progress and professional development of our students. Many of our students have been accepted into internship programs in the local community. Biology The B. S. in Biology program offers the student the option of pursuing concentrations in premedical biology, biochemistry or general biology. Students earning a B.S. with a major in biology must complete 120-124 credit hours.
