Welcome to the Department of Biology and Marine Biology Web site!
The Biology and Marine Biology Department supports both an excellent undergraduate program, with an emphasis on hands-on involvement of undergraduates in research and other activities, as well as a nationally recognized Master’s Program. Among our newest degree offerings is a Ph.D. in Marine Biology, able to take advantage of the wide array of local coastal and offshore habitats and the facilities of the Center for Marine Science located 6 miles from the main university campus. We have an active faculty involved in a variety of research interests including molecular biology and systematics, coastal and estuarine ecology, invertebrate and vertebrate biology, and environmental biology. If you are new to our department, please take a few moments to browse and see what we are about. Over the next few months we plan to post a newsletter on this site to provide updates on current events, faculty and student happenings, and alumni news.

Please contact us if you have any questions.
