Biology is a huge and diverse area of human knowledge that includes everything from the behavior of the molecules that code genetic information to enormous ecosystems that cover the surface of our planet. The Department of Biology offers courses and programs of study that reflect this tremendous range and depth of information. For some students, this means the study of crayfish and how they behave in muddy swamps, while for others there is the opportunity to dissect genes and see how they work. All students can discover something new about themselves and the world around them. Students in the master's programs have the opportunity to do their thesis research in one of the department's many research laboratories.
