Biology

The graduate program in Biology prepares students to become self-sufficient, independent thinkers who work heavily in scientific research. Often, graduates of the program put their skills to use in a variety of fields. The program is the optimal environment for learning. The faculty pride themselves on the 2:5 student-to-professor ratio that they are able to provide. This ratio results in the faculty being approachable and accessed more easily, and it allows professors to provide more one-on-one attention to students who are working on thesis research. The smaller enrollment size of the program means that the graduate and teaching assistantships are not as competitive as they may be at schools with larger enrollment numbers.
