Biology

Like the living things at its essence, the field of biology is dynamic, constantly growing, rapidly changing, and replete with new discoveries and advances.

Providing a solid foundation in modern biology equips our majors to take part in these discoveries. Our curriculum promotes a broad, integrated, and interdisciplinary understanding of biological systems, utilizing a curriculum (link to the majors/minors page) that incorporates hands on learning experiences and inquiry based courses.

IWU biology students have the opportunity to conduct research with biology faculty, pursue internships and externships for course credit, and all of our majors have the opportunity to study abroad.
