Biology is the study of living organisms: their structure, function, organization, origin, and evolution. We support undergraduate scholarly endeavors, train students for an array of careers in research and related professional fields, and communicate the impact and significance of biology to an array of students. Despite the heated discussions that remained about the importance of ‘evo-devo,’ or what molecular evolution meant for the synthetic theory, and despite a number of challenges from outside of science such as the ‘intelligent design,’ or ID advocates, the century drew to a close with a much broader view of evolutionary biology.
Biology is the study of living things. Synonyms: biological science; life science. To this end, the Biology Department has two Diversity Committees — one comprised of faculty and another of graduate students —in order to promote equity, reduce bias, embrace and increase diversity, and build respect, inclusion, and cultural competency among all members of the department. Tri-Beta is a national honorary society for students majoring in the biological sciences.
You’ll get comprehensive training of practical skills in microbiology including sound technique and lab practices for the safe handling of category 2 microorganisms. Areas of excellence in our Department include biotechnology, developmental and integrative biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, genomics, microbiology, toxicology and science pedagogy. Graduate students may earn a master of science in biology.
These experiences prime our students for graduate and medical school admissions as well as various careers in biology. The Biology majors can be used as preparation for graduate school or professional careers in technical fields, the health sciences and education. This field has become increasingly important in recent years, and requires students to develop significant mathematical and computer science nous, much like the interdisciplinary field of bioinformatics, which involves developing and improving on methods for storing, retrieving, organizing and analyzing biological data and developing software tools to generate useful biological knowledge.
Graduate students from Cristescu Lab collecting environmental DNA at the Gault Nature Reserve, Mount Saint Hilaire. Biology: A natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms. The branch of science which deals with the study of cells and their organelles. The College of Science Biology program provides students with a broad understanding of the organization and processes of life, from molecules and cells through tissues and organs, to populations, ecosystems, and evolution.
