Biological science uncovers the mechanisms of life in its diverse manifestations. The Biology Department boasts cutting-edge facilities where faculty members strive to expand knowledge boundaries while training future scientists and healthcare experts. Our academic and research initiatives cover the full spectrum of contemporary biology, examining everything from microorganisms to complex organisms, and investigating processes from molecular interactions to genetic inheritance, developmental patterns, behavioral studies, and evolutionary pathways.
We are dedicated to delivering a challenging, stimulating, and welcoming educational experience. Learners encounter current theories and advanced techniques throughout their academic journey, from foundational courses to specialized electives that delve deeply into key biological disciplines. Learning opportunities extend outside traditional settings too. We actively promote student involvement in research projects both within our department and at other New York-based institutions. Additionally, biology students have unique chances to pursue international study programs while progressing in their major—an advantage rarely available to science students at other institutions.
Our biology degree programs offer exceptional groundwork for professions in research, higher education, medical practice, dental care, and associated areas. Department alumni demonstrate an impressive track record of gaining admission to professional schools and building distinguished careers in biomedical sciences.
The ecology concentration equips students with comprehensive training in modern biology while emphasizing ecological principles, methodologies, and analytical techniques. This track is particularly designed for those aiming to pursue advanced studies in ecology or similar disciplines.
