Biology is an ever-evolving field focused on studying living beings and their relationships with the environment. Saint Louis University's biology curriculum prioritizes conceptual learning over rote memorization, preparing students for diverse paths in life sciences, healthcare, education, and graduate studies. The university's B.A. in Biology allows exceptional flexibility in choosing advanced courses, making it ideal for students pursuing dual degrees. Additionally, SLU provides a B.S. in Biology option.
The biology program benefits from collaborations with the School of Medicine, Missouri Botanical Garden, Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, Saint Louis Zoo, and numerous local biotech firms. Through research projects and internships, students gain hands-on biological experience outside traditional classroom settings.
SLU's Biology Department operates a specialized field station that enables students to investigate ecology, conservation, and environmental science within an Ozark forest environment. This facility allows undergraduates to enroll in summer courses, perform research projects, and complete immersive semester programs focused on field biology studies.
