College - Departmental Mission Statement
The Biology Department’s mission is to provide
students with an understanding of, and an appreciation for, the living world,
including the fundamental mechanisms that underlie all life. We believe that students should understand the ways in
which they are affected by living organisms and how their lives in turn have an
impact on other living organisms and the biosphere. We consider it vital to present the methods of science and to illustrate
the processes that lead to discoveries in science. We emphasize the development of observational, analytical,
and communication skills, regardless of the career path the individual student
selects. Finally, we believe that
biology is best understood by active involvement with organisms and the systems
of life in laboratory and field settings, and in collaborative student-faculty
research.
