Why Biology at PC?

The biology program is for students who are focused on careers in medicine and health-allied professions, environmental-ecological-evolutionary studies, biomedical research in industry and academia, and secondary education.

The biology curriculum makes students aware—at different levels or organization (cell, tissue, organism, population)—of the structure, function, and evolution of life through lecture, laboratories, and engaged learning opportunities (e.g., research and internship).

The Department of Biology maintains state-of-the-art research and teaching laboratories to support class-related assignments and student-faculty research. These opportunities for collaborative learning and hands-on training enhance the learning experience and better prepare students for post-graduate studies or careers in research.
