The Department of 生物学 offers a wide range of courses designed to provide the student community with a comprehensive exposure to the living world. The curriculum of the department introduces students to the varieties of organisms and phenomena found in the realm of biology.

The department seeks to educate its students beyond the simple acquisition of information by encouraging active student participation in the actual “doing” of biology. Hands-on lecture activities are incorporated into most courses, and laboratories allow students to carry out experiments and procedures performed by professionals in those fields of biology.

A freshly renovated (summer 2021) floor dedicated to the discipline ensures students have plenty of room to grow in their understanding of the field. 你也有资格参加 3+2环境管理学位课程, a partnership with Western Colorado University!
