Explore life with us

One of the great strengths of the Department of Biology at the University of Puget Sound is that it is large enough to allow students to study all aspects of living organisms, from subcellular structures to populations, yet small enough to allow students and faculty to work closely together in lectures, laboratories, and research projects. A student who takes courses in biology here becomes part of a community that strives to create a dynamic learning and research environment. The faculty, staff, and other students in the department hope that you will consider joining us here at Puget Sound. We offer:

  • Faculty and staff committed to providing personal attention to each student
  • Courses and degree requirements that give a solid foundation in modern biology, from molecules to ecosystems
  • Research facilities and undergraduate research programs that provide an opportunity for students to work closely with professors on individual research projects in well-equipped labs or in the field
  • Activities for students that get you involved in the department and the discipline
