The Wabash biology department distinguishes itself with a strong and diverse faculty and a commitment to undergraduate teaching and research.

 

The curriculum emphasizes analytical and problem solving skills that enable students to reach their own conclusions and solutions. In a field that is rapidly changing, the ability to acquire new information and place it in a broad context is a crucial skill.

 

The biology curriculum also provides students with greater flexibility in changing career goals as they learn about new fields (such as environmental law, research or secondary education) and opportunities that may better reflect their interests and desires.
