植物综合生物学小组的成员研究高等植物的形式，功能，进化和生态。研究兴趣包括发展的分子生物学，生长的生物化学和生理学，生理生态学，分子系统学以及种群，社区和景观生态学。对高等植物的兴趣使团队团结在一起，并在教师和学生之间产生广泛而富有成效的互动。小组成员每年都会提供研究生研讨会课程。这些研讨会探讨了植物生物学各个领域的高级和新兴主题，并帮助学生了解实验设计和结果解释。最近的研讨会主题包括生物地理学，高级系统学，植物与动物的相互作用以及植物生理学。
The Department of Biological and Allied Health Sciences offers courses on a wide variety of topics, from ecosystems to the molecular level and everything in-between, for both majors and non-majors. Department faculty pursue research in diverse areas and actively involve undergraduates in their research, encouraging them to develop their own projects and to present them at local and national research conferences. We offer many courses of study for students interested in the biological sciences, including both a major and a minor in Biology. We also offer Allied Health majors in Radiologic Technology, Medical Imaging Sciences (Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Nuclear Medicine), and Clinical Laboratory Sciences.
