Mission Statement

The mission of Biology is to thoroughly train students in the basic areas of biology at the organismal, organ/system, tissue, cellular, and molecular levels. This training prepares our graduates for successful entry and achievement into graduate schools and professional schools of medicine, veterinary medicine, optometry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, pharmacy, and medical laboratory science. As a service for students fulfilling their central curriculum science requirements in biology, our purpose is to relate general biological principles to the non-science major with the intent of igniting interest in the sciences, Biology seaks to help create a community of learning and free inquiry, presenting a thorough academic engagement in which teacher and students work together to integrate liberal arts and career education leadership and service, faith and learning.
