Our faculty are funded in cutting-edge research in a broad range of biological disciplines and our community of students actively engage in research learning environments that encourage publication and job training.  

Our department offers BS, MS, and PhD degree programs, with opportunities for students to specialize in a range of fields.  In addition, we offer two undergraduate certificates in Biotechnology and in Environmental Stewardship of Indigenous Lands (ESIL).

Our curriculum is designed to offer a foundation for understanding life processes, through core and ancillary courses. The department offers a variety of electives that allow for individualzed interests. Students may opt into opportunities to participate in internships, as well as research with our faculty.
