圣地亚哥州立大学的生物系设有出色的学位课程，课程由40多名全职研究活跃的教职员工教授。我们为大约1600个生物学和微生物学的本科专业，80个未成年人，200个研究生以及来自其他系的数千名学生提供服务和指导。SDSU提供了细胞和分子生物学，生态学，进化及相关领域的丰富课程。在一个典型的学期中，本科生可以学习超过50门课程。几乎所有这些课程的班级人数都少于30，或者相关的实验室部分的学生人数少于25。与其他机构的生物学部门相比，我们拥有大量的实验室和现场课程。下级实验室由研究生（而不是本科生）教授，许多上级实
The Department of Biology at San Diego State University has excellent degree programs with courses taught by over 35 full time, research active faculty members. We serve and mentor approximately 1300 undergraduate majors in Biology and Microbiology, 80 minors, 150 plus graduate students, and thousands of students from other departments. SDSU offers a rich variety of coursework in cellular and molecular biology, ecology, evolution, and related fields. In a typical semester, undergraduates have access to over 50 courses. Nearly all of these have class sizes less than 30, or have associated laboratory sections with less than 25 students. We have a large number of laboratory and field-based courses compared with Biology departments at other institutions. The lower division laboratories are taught by graduate students (rather than undergraduates), and many of the upper division laboratories are taught by the professors themselves. Because of our emphasis on laboratory courses, hands-on activities and research opportunities, our graduates are uniquely prepared for a career in biology or the health professions, or postgraduate education.
