Program Features
Programs
The emphasis of teaching in the department is modern biology with particular
attention to molecular biology and its applications. The faculty are young,
well-trained, and committed to excellence in teaching and are actively
engaged in seeking new ways to challenge students to be responsible for
their own learning.
Within the area of biology,
students can choose to earn a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts
degree. Our newest concentration is an interdisciplinary program in
Environmental Science. Programs for future teachers are also available,
along with a minor in biology.
Facilities
Huntington
University opened a newly-constructed, 90,000 square-foot Science

Mathematical Sciences in 2002. The new learning center features a quality
learning environment with student-friendly spaces, teaching and research
specialty equipment, well-designed laboratories and research spaces, and
multimedia classrooms in rich, art-infused aesthetic surroundings.

Faculty
Huntington faculty seek continuous improvement of the classroom learning
environment by challenging students to develop skills in critical thinking
and effective oral and written communication. Students will have the
opportunity to learn from one another while engaged in active learning
through participation in organized group activities.
