Dear Visitor,

Welcome to the home page for the Department of Biology at Southwestern University.

As you browse our pages, we hope you get a sense of who we are and what we do. The biology faculty represent a diverse group of biologists with interests ranging from molecular to population to community biology. This diversity of interests is reflected in both the curriculum and in faculty/student research interests.

The Department of Biology at Southwestern University presents students with the challenge and excitement of learning about living organisms and their relationships to their environment. The courses offered by the department cover a broad range of topics within three main subdivisions of biology: cellular and molecular biology, organismal biology, and population biology. Many of the courses have a lecture component combined with a laboratory component. Laboratories are conducted in the Fondren-Jones Science Hall facility as well as at a 17-acre biological field station on the North San Gabriel River.

Opportunities for learning, both in and out of the classroom, abound for the interested student. Whether it is tackling a difficult biological concept in class, working with faculty and student collaborators in the lab or field, or helping out in a biology teaching lab, you will find yourself caught up in the study of biology at Southwestern University.

Thank you for visiting our web site.

Sincerely,

The Department of Biology Faculty
