These groups include undergraduates fulfilling the science requirement in the college&#8217;s core curriculum; undergraduate Biology majors;\u00a0undergraduates fulfilling science pre-requisites to apply for the BS in Nursing Program; and Health and Physical Education students enrolled in the Department&#8217;s two service courses. We strive to provide every student in our program with an immersive learning experience led by faculty who are leaders in their field. The department maintains a rigorous, supportive, collaborative and inclusive academic and research environment that will prepare students for diverse careers and advanced study, while empowering them to become biologically literate members of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the Department contributes to the discipline through scholarly and professional activity and to the state and local community through participation in various service related activities. Two Biology faculty members also serve as Pre-Health Advisors.
