From Molecules to Ecosystems

We embrace a broad understanding of the life sciences, and our faculty work collaboratively and empower students to learn in the classroom, lab, and field.

Undergraduate students get a strong background in fundamentals of life sciences that allow them to specialize to meet their career goals, and graduate students specialize within the broad world of biology by creating their own individualized program of study.

Our faculty members incorporate multiple disciplines and organizational levels. They work hand-in-hand with students to get them out of the textbook and into real-world educational experiences, from using human cadavers as learning tools to applying hands-on field research at Cedar Point Biological Station. We also offer competitive research and teaching assistantships that prepare students for a variety of successful careers.
