Welcome to Biological Sciences
Mission
Our mission is to provide exceptional undergraduate programs and courses. Our primary goal is to produce outstanding graduates who are ready for the next step in their professional life. Graduates should exhibit both breadth and depth of biological knowledge and skills. They should be logical thinkers who can use scientific methodology to address specific questions. They should possess appropriate ancillary skills in chemistry, physics, mathematics, statistics, and computers. Our graduates should give and receive information effectively using the spoken and written word and work effectively within a team.
Vision
We are a department of active and engaged teacher-scholars whose goal is to produce exceptional graduates. As teacher-scholars, we encourage undergraduate research and we model professionalism by conducting publishable research, attending conferences, and remaining up to date in our disciplines. We will emphasize excellence in instruction using current pedagogical methods that focus on hands-on problem solving and inquiry, enhanced by undergraduate research and supported by our dedication to being professional, active scientists.
