Introduction

The instructional program emphasizes quality teaching, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technology, and the involvement of undergraduate students in research. The department has high-quality faculty, several of whom are nationally and internationally known. The faculty sees itself as an excellent example of the teacher-scholar model for a predominantly undergraduate institution. The department maintains active research facilities with modern instrumentation. In addition, the UW-Parkside campus, the Chiwaukee Prairie, Harris Tract, Ranger Mac’s Fen, Renak Polak Woods, Petrifying Springs, and Sanders Park provide field areas for environmental studies. The biological sciences include many different aspects of biology such as botany, microbiology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and zoology. The undergraduate majors are based on core courses designed to convey a common body of concepts and skills essential to the training of biologists regardless of their ultimate specialization. This part of the program emphasizes the similarities and unifying ideas applicable to all living systems. The department offers two majors. The biological sciences major is appropriate for students with a general interest in biology. The molecular biology and bioinformatics major is designed for students who wish to specialize in this rapidly growing field of biology. Both majors are appropriate for students preparing for the health professions; consult with the pre-health advisors for advice relating to your particular career goal.
