Welcome to the
Biological Sciences department. I would like to invite you to learn
more about our exciting and comprehensive Biology program by
browsing our web site. Whether you are a Biology major, interested
in learning technical laboratory skills, or a non-major, we have
what you need to succeed.
Starting with
our state-of-the-art new laboratory classrooms in the Aliso lab
building, to the new Canyon Country campus, to our ever expanding
curriculum, you can find it all here. Biology is a dynamic and
exciting field and
students
in our department
have access to professors with a broad range of expertise, from the
molecular scale to the ecosystem. Faculty in the biology department
takes pride in providing excellent opportunities for learning inside
the classroom and out to help you achieve your academic and
professional goals.
We constantly
are improving our curricula with innovative new courses, such as
Biology of Cancer, Human Prosection in our new cold room with an
extraordinary audiovisual system, Bioinformatics, Forensic Biology,
a Certificate in Biotechnology, major preparation courses, as well
as the prerequisites for any of the Allied Health field careers. Our
study-abroad program that started in 2004 has already expanded to a
3-week stay at Biological Research Stations in the Galapagos Islands
and the Ecuadorian Amazon with opportunities to do field and
research work. An Environmental Sciences curriculum with field
experience in the San Bernardino Mountains is starting fall 2008,
and an interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program is in the
works.
As you can see,
our department is dedicated to provide the student with the best
Biology education in an environment that will stimulate enquiring
minds and foster the joy of scientific discovery.
If you have any
other questions, or need help please contact me via
e-mail or phone.
Thanks again for
visiting!
