Biological Sciences Overview
The Department of Biological Sciences is a center for innovative, interdisciplinary life sciences research and teaching. Our faculty research interests span all levels of biological organization, from molecules to ecosystems. This cross-disciplinary approach to life sciences, performed within a collegial, interactive atmosphere enables new discoveries that impact every major field of biological sciences. Our academic programs exploit the breadth and depth of our faculty’s research expertise and outstanding teaching and mentoring skills.
The BA in Biology is designed to provide a broad-based education in the biological sciences. The BS allows for more in-depth study within specific areas. The Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) program is an interdisciplinary program that provides students with training in biological sciences, mathematics, and computing that are needed to the elucidate the molecular entities that govern biological organization at all levels, from molecules to ecosystems. Students have the option to specialize in one of the three program sub-areas, Biological Sciences, Computer Science and Engineering, or Biomedical Informatics.
The department also offers minors in both biological sciences and biotechnology. The biotechnology minor is only available to students majoring in Chemical Engineering.
