Biology is the scientific study of living systems. Living organisms can be studied at many biological levels: from the structure of DNA to the complex interactions of different species within the environment. The Biology Department has designed its curriculum to reflect the complexity and diversity of the living world. Graduates of the biology program will understand the molecular and cellular basis of life, the relationship between biological structure and function, and the ecological roles of organisms within the environment.

If you are interested in learning more about the wonderful and diverse array of living systems on Earth then you should consider majoring in Biology at Franklin Pierce University. Please contact one of the faculty members listed below if you have questions concerning the biology program.
