BIOLOGY
CBU Biology offers a strong academic program with a variety of Biology courses including selections in the fields of human & biomedical biology, organismal biology, evolutionary biology & ecology, and cell & molecular biology. In addition to our strong academic program, CBU Biology offers personalized advising, state of the art lab equipment, and small classes. CBU biology majors present their laboratory or field research at the annual CBU research poster session and at a scientific meeting. Many CBU students have their research published. CBU students also have opportunities for international research and service through MIRT and Haiti Medical Missions. Students who earn the Biology Degree at CBU receive excellent preparation for graduate school (including medical school) and for careers in all fields of biology and the biomedical sciences. For those seeking teaching licensure for grades 7 through 12, we offer a Natural Science degree with a minor in biology that incorporates all of the necessary education courses for teacher licensure in Biology. There is also a program for dual licensure in biology and chemistry. A growing field for Biology majors is that of Environmental Science. CBU has designed a curriculum for students seeking to enter graduate programs in ecology and environmental science. The coursework includes study in biology, organic chemistry, toxicology, physics, and environmental ethics.
