Biology is not merely a collection of facts but a process of discovery.
The goal of the biological sciences faculty is to promote scientific curiosity, critical thinking, and intellectual maturity in our students through a rigorous curriculum which explores the major disciplines in biology and examines both the diversity of life and the functional aspects of living systems. Each course provides a framework for examining the scientific process as a means to master current knowledge and to provide a basis to address problems of the future.
