We hope to use this pages as means for communicating and sharing events and happenings in biology both on campus and around the world. Please refer to this page for updates and announcements regarding Tri-Beta, Biology Club, and the department in general. Loyola's biology department is an actively engaged group that focuses on excellence in teaching and undergraduate research. The curriculum prepa
res students as academicians, for their professional career after Loyola and as lifelong learners. Faculty encourage students to become involved in the program beyond the classroom experience by conducting research projects with biology professors and co-authoring papers presented at regional and national meetings, or becoming a member of the Tri Beta National Biology Honor Society or the biology Student Advisory Board. It is our hope that all students will want to become involved in department activities and contribute to an engaging academic environment. Students in Loyola's biology program benefit from hands-on laboratory experiences, research opportunities with faculty and a robust curriculum. Together, these experiences create a holistic learning environment that prepares graduates for successful admission to graduate and professional schools or for direct entry into the field. For majors, the general biology curriculum is very flexible, allowing students to individualize their course selections to suit their academic and career goals. The department also offers a minor. Or, students can pursue an interdisciplinary degree and combine two disciplines, such as biology and chemistry.
