Through the academic and extracurricular opportunities
which the department offers, students are prepared to understand and
participate in a wide variety of biological specializations. Students in
the graduate programs are expected to expand their understanding of
biological concepts, to become familiar with recent developments in
biology, and to become familiar with library, computer, and laboratory
resources for biological research.
