Welcome to the
Department of Biology's Web Site in the School of Science &
Technology. This site has information about our undergraduate and
graduate programs. We hope what you find is beneficial in helping you
make an informed decision about your academic career.
Biology
courses were taught by four faculty members in a sub area within the Area
of Science and Mathematics in 1950 at Jackson College. The Department of
Biology was officially established in 1957 when the college organized a
new School of Liberal Arts. Continuous growth has been evident through
the addition of faculty members with various research specialties. The
acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment in multi-user facilities has
also greatly enhanced the research capabilities of the department.
National recognition was achieved in 2000 through a citation in “Black
Issues in Higher Education” who reported that the department ranked 3rd
in the nation in the production of African Americans who earned the
baccalaureate in biology. Currently, the department has over 800 majors
and 26 faculty members making it the largest department on campus.
