The Department of Biology is committed to immersing students in the substantive study of biology while engaging them in issues of bioethics and stewardship. Students are taught that science is a process understood through research methods, the findings of which must be communicated well in both oral and written forms.
Students are prepared for graduate and professional programs as well as for the workplace.
Faculty encourage students to be involved in research, practical training and experience either on campus or at cooperative job training or internships. The department seeks to prepare students to serve as well-educated Christians in a secular world, engaging in careful thought about the relationship of biology to the Christian faith. Coupled with required support courses in mathematics, chemistry and physics, this approach provides students with thorough training for careers in science. Health professions, environmental, marine biology and professional concentrations are available. A secondary education minor is also offered.
