The Department of Biology at the University of Evansville gives students the tools they need to succeed in graduate school and private sector jobs.
Over the last 5 years 94% of our graduates have either gone on to graduate/professional schools or are employed in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) related fields. We provide purposeful learning experiences through research – conducted individually through UExplore, Evansville's undergraduate research program, or one-on-one with professors. Learning is done in a hands-on environment either in faculty research labs, large greenhouse and animal facilities, or through fieldwork in the U.S. or abroad.
