The Department of Biology at Brooklyn College is a well-respected science department in a traditional liberal arts college. Our faculty members have a wide variety of interests and active careers in laboratory-based research at national and international levels. They are successful in obtaining federal grants for their research programs and in publishing and presenting their findings. Faculty members pursue their research at the College and mentor students in their specialties. The department offers a bachelor of arts in biology, a bachelor of science in biology, and a bachelor of arts degree in adolescence education for biology teachers as well as a minor in biology. The department offers opportunities for access and excellence in the biological sciences at the bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree levels. It provides an exciting, supportive environment in which to hone skills and perform cutting-edge research. Our programs of study equip students with the knowledge and understanding of biological sciences necessary to succeed in our increasingly interdependent, technological world. Each year, approximately 400 undergraduates major in biology. They have a broad range of interests and careers plans and are ethnically and culturally diverse, reflecting the demography of Brooklyn. Armed with a superior science education, our graduates are informed and responsible citizens, committed to science, and prepared to lead their communities into an ever more complex future. Many of our students, including a recent Rhodes scholar, continue their studies in prestigious graduate and professional schools across the country and around the world. Students who wish to pursue graduate studies may apply to the master's and doctoral degree programs offered by or in conjunction with this department.
