Welcome to the Department of Biological Sciences!

Our vibrant department comprises over 100 members including world-renowned research and teaching faculty, support staff, research specialists and postdocs, and graduate students. We are each dedicated to research, teaching and discovery in a diverse range of topics within biological sciences fields. Please spend some time checking us out! Each individual Faculty member’s page describes their research labs and accomplishments. For current or prospective undergraduate students, detailed descriptions of our various majors, information about our courses and undergraduate research, and links to interdisciplinary opportunities can be found within our Undergraduates page. At the Graduate level, we offer a PhD in Biology with concentrations in biochemistry, evolution and behavior, neuroscience, and cell and molecular biology. We also offer a highly focused master's program in molecular biology that is exclusively by distance. If you have questions about any aspect of our department, please get in touch.
