The academic programs offered have the intellectual breadth and academic rigor needed to achieve this objective. The Department of Biology has established three goals to meet the mission:
- Graduates will possess a fundamental knowledge of living organisms.
- Graduates will possess critical-thinking skills and be able to apply the scientific method to solve problems.
- Graduates will appreciate and be able to describe the role that advances in biology play in our society.
