The Department of Biology offers:
Biology is a rapidly evolving field that has become increasingly cross-disciplinary in recent years. The explosion of knowledge of molecular techniques and of our ability to analyze and manipulate DNA has impacted every area of biology, from agriculture to medicine. The future promises expansion and application of this technology along with the potential to use it toward solving many of the world's most pressing problems.
As educators and researchers, we recognize that these advances have changed science and therefore how Biology should be taught. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing the best curriculum and experiental opportunities we can, so that each student will possess the knowledge and laboratory skills they need to excel in this exciting, ever-evolving field.
Our Mission
The mission of the Biology Department is to provide a high quality educational experience in the biological sciences to undergraduate students in a bilingual environment. The curriculum offered by the department requires that students develop competence in the use of modern biological techniques and in the analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. The department prepares students to make contributions to diverse communities and a multicultural world beyond Gallaudet as educators, researchers, professionals and citizens.
