Montane Biology takes students to the mountains of northern New Mexico for a week exploring the wildlife of the mountains. Trails take students high into mountains still decked with snow. Side trips to pueblos and national historic areas complete the adventure. Undergraduate Research Students with an interest in research can work with professors on projects. Much of our research work is designed to allow students to make significant contributions.
Work can focus on field studies or laboratory investigations.

McMurry biology students have done research resulting in a number of presentations at regional, national, and international meetings, and a number of publications in respected journals. The Pi Beta Chapter of the Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society provides opportunities for students to gain a deeper understanding of biology and participate in special programs related to the life sciences.
