The CBU Biology Department 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 and biomedical sciences 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.  You can view a slide presentation describing the CBU Biology research courses.  CBU students also have opportunities for international research and service through MHIRT and Haiti Medical Missions.

The Department also offers, in conjunction with the Department of Education, a five-year program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in natural science, a Master of Arts in Teaching degree, and teaching licensure in biology or biology and chemistry for grades 7 through 12.

Biology and biomedical science students at CBU organize and participate in a variety of activities through the Mu Tau chapter of Beta Beta Beta, the national undergraduate biology honor society.
