Overview

•  The biology major at Susquehanna offers a contemporary curriculum in cellular and molecular biology, as well as ecology and environmental biology. 
• The department emphasizes student participation in active research, in collaboration with faculty.  Most students take advantage of the opportunity to complete a yearlong “capstone” research project, and many present their work at conferences or earn publication in scientific journals.
• Placement for biology graduates is strong.  Approximately 75 percent go on to earn advanced degrees or complete professional school. 
• In 2010, the department expanded into a cutting-edge new “green” building that features 19 labs and a rooftop greenhouse.
