The Department of Biological Sciences has as its highest goal providing to our students the basis for a lifetime of intellectual appreciation and development. We aim to foster an environment where our students can learn to examine the world scientifically and apply this knowledge in a manner that is beneficial to both the individual and society. In pursuit of this aim, we create an intellectually stimulating atmosphere and provide our students with a quality education in the Biological Sciences, including theoretical and practical analysis of the most current questions in the field.
The goals of the Department of Biological Sciences are:
- To provide high-quality education in the biological sciences
- To challenge students to examine the world scientifically and apply their acquired knowledge in their examinations
- To foster an environment where students feel intellectually challenged
- To respond to educational and employment needs with the community and region
- To provide individuals with the opportunity to prepare for careers requiring a background in biology
All curricula have been designed to provide a quality education directed to prepare students for their chosen career area and/or the pursuit of a four-year degree.
