Department & University

Department of Biology

The Department of Biology at Georgia Southern University is a student-centered, “full-service” department offering training from the molecular to the ecosystem level. Our students interact closely with a caring faculty of teacher-scholars. Undergraduates receive hands-on training to enter the job market or competitive professional and graduate schools. The Department of Biology places more graduates in pre-professional schools than any other department on campus. Approximately 25% of our graduate students go on to receive PhDs. Creative scholarships and student-research programs give students opportunities to work directly with individual faculty members.
