Maryville University - Biology Program

The biology faculty at Maryville University believes that the undergraduate biology student should acquire a strong foundation in the basic concepts and principles of biology; students should not over-specialize in their undergraduate biology preparation. Our program provides a wide platform for whatever interests the student may develop in the future.

The faculty have done an outstanding job in selecting courses that represent a comprehensive range of topics that allow student to progress in their careers while at the same time maintaining a small enough program to deal with our students as individuals.

Maryville University science faculty has grown in one generation from a one person department to a comprehensive faculty of nine full-time professors. The University is committed to the continued growth of this faculty as student enrollment and institution commitment to the sciences continues to grow.
