Program Description

The primary mandate of the Department of Biology is to provide excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The Department offers a comprehensive program, which exposes students to the full range of biological sciences. Our undergraduate three-year curriculum introduces students to modern studies in general, molecular, cell, and environmental biology. It also emphasizes active, hands-on experience with modern technology. Small class sizes with an emphasis on laboratories and tutorials foster ongoing, productive interactions between students and faculty.

By the time that undergraduate students receive their degree from our programs, they will:

  1. Have gained sufficient understanding of the different biological facts and concepts.
  2. Have acquired knowledge on the most updated findings in different biology fields of study.
  3. Be able to think logically, communicate clearly and criticize their acquired biological knowledge and experimental skills.
  4. Be able to use scientific instrumentation and information technology and have acquired written, oral, and multimedia scientific communication skills.
  5. Be able to exert their acquired technical skills to successfully perform basic research techniques.
  6. Have acquired enough knowledge and skills to join and excel in professional programs in medicine, pharmacy, medical sciences, biotechnology and science education.
  7. Be outstanding members of the workforce by having adequate skills to retrieve, evaluate and communicate information from the scientific literature, electronic databases, and experimental data.
  8. Have enough skills to formulate and evaluate experimental research models based on observations of biological phenomena and apply quantitative methods to solve biological problems.
