With the diversity of our interests and the richness of our experiences within the life sciences, we all agree that this is the most exciting time to be a biologist in the history of mankind. The undergraduate biology curriculum at Towson University includes courses oriented toward majors in biology and related disciplines, preprofessional courses, and courses designed to serve as important elements in the liberal arts education of students with a variety of majors. The biology major is designed to articulate smoothly with the backgrounds of secondary school graduates as well as transfer students from community colleges and other four-year institutions. Our master's program is targeted toward individuals interested in future doctoral study or employment in academia, government, or industry. Many of our M.S. students gain important experience as teaching assistants.
Some stipends are also available for summer research.
Another important facet of our Department focuses on training, implementation, and research in science education. Current and future students at all educational levels benefit from our expertise in this important area. On behalf of the entire Department, I would like to thank you for visiting our Website.
