Welcome to the School of Biological Sciences
We have embraced advances in biology that have blurred the lines between traditional areas of study. Our 44 full time faculty
take a collaborative approach to their work by incorporating multiple disciplines and organizational levels.
Our 90 graduate students choose from seven Graduate Research Emphasis Groups (GREGS) to explore life from molecules to ecosystems. We offer competitive research and teaching assistantships that prepare students for successful careers in academia or private industry.
Close to 700 students with a biological sciences major develop a broad understanding of life sciences to bring to their potential careers. We offer an anatomy course that utilizes cadavers, research opportunities in everything from behavioral ecology to virology, and hands-on field courses at Cedar Point Biological Station.

We operate out of three main facilities at UNL and
have field stations, centers and labs that give our students and
faculty access to the space and technologies they need.

SBS Director
Welcome to the School of Biological Sciences. Our program is focused on innovative, collaborative work in the life sciences. I encourage our faculty and students to follow new lines of inquiry through research and learning. This year marks the highest undergraduate enrollment in our history. I think this increase is due in part to the relevant issues our students explore. My hope is that our courses and research address real concerns and shape creative, scientific minds.
