Mission
Compatible with the Mission and Values of the College of Saint Elizabeth, the mission of the Biology Program is to provide students with a rigorous and comprehensive introduction to the principles in biology. Our program emphasizes the application of the scientific process and practical skills necessary to be successful in attaining different career choices, and to be able to communicate the impact and significance of biology to society. The Biology Programs goal is to create a teaching and learning environment which:
- provides students the breadth of knowledge in the biology discipline and provides students with investigative skills
- encourages intellectual curiosity and promotes critical thinking
- teaches and fosters ethical behavior and professional integrity
- prepares students for admission into professional and graduate degree programs as well as the ability to be competitive in the science industry market and in science related careers
- prepares students to be informed and to communicate the major issues at the forefront of the biology discipline.
