Biology & Chemistry Department

The Biology & Chemistry department invites students to work collaboratively with faculty inside and outside the classroom. Our students do more than just learn about science — they become scientists. We integrate scientific research projects into our courses to give students the opportunity to practice real, hands-on discovery and experience adding to academic conversation in their field. Our small class sizes allow for intentional interaction between faculty and students and among student groups, helping them develop scientific thinking, communication, and research skills. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers in health care, veterinary medicine, industry, and graduate programs all over the world.
