Discover the scientific process behind life from molecular, cellular, organismal, and environmental perspectives. Our professors combine process-driven research methods with hands-on training to ensure that students receive a well-rounded education. Classes incorporate a Christian worldview into the study of biological science.

The Biology major equips the student with the knowledge necessary to pursue a wide range of career opportunities by studying zoology, botany, microbiology, genetics, cell biology, environmental biology, and other biology fields.
