The field of biology is experiencing an explosive growth of information as we learn to solve environmental problems, to cure human diseases, and to map human genes, for example.
Many new discoveries make biology interesting.
We teach small classes in which we provide personal attention. Learning biology at Benedictine begins in our classrooms and continues in student-faculty research, internships, seminars, field trips, scientific meetings, public service, parties and a social life. Our philosophy is that biology must be experienced hands-on with the best equipment that can be provided. Six major labs, three small labs and a classroom are occupied by small classes. All biology courses have lab sections.
