生物科学包括从分子的结构和功能到生物群落的行为和进化的水平上对生命系统的研究。该系提供了四种不同的途径来掌握这一广泛领域的技能和知识。生物学学士学位和学士学位课程为生物学提供了广泛的介绍，并为学生提供了建立适合其特定兴趣的学习计划的机会。专注于生物学特定方面的研究计划是行为神经科学和分子生物学领域的文学学士和理学学士学位以及生物化学领域的理学学士学位。该部门由很多人组成：教师，行政人员，技术人员和研究生研究/教学助手。将我们联系在一起的一件事是，我们正在努力做自己真正喜欢的事情，即先进的生物学教育和研究。
The biological sciences include the study of living systems at levels ranging from the structure and function of molecules to the behavior and evolution of communities of organisms. The Department offers four different routes to mastering skills and knowledge in this broad area. The B.A. and B.S. programs in Biology provide a broad introduction to biology with opportunities for students to create a program of study suited to their specific interests. Programs of study focused on particular aspects of biology are the B.A. and B.S. degrees in the areas of Behavioral Neuroscience and Molecular Biology and the B.S. degree in Biochemistry. The department consists of a lot of people: faculty, administrative staff, technical staff, and graduate research/teaching assistants. One strong thing bonding us together is that we are working hard at things we really like, advanced biological education and research.
