Five B.S. degree concentrations allow students to focus on specific disciplinary areas. SLU also offers a B.A. in Biology

Research experiences and internships provide students with opportunities to study biology beyond the classroom.
  • SLU(s) Department of Biology has a field station that provides unique opportunities for students to explore ecology, conservation and environmental science in an Ozark forest ecosystem. The field station offers students opportunities to take a summer class, conduct undergraduate research and participate in a semester-long program of field biology coursework.
  • Students are encouraged to participate in co-curricular activities. Groups such as Beta Beta Beta, the biology honorary society, and Alpha Epsilon Delta, the pre-professional honor society, are social and academic organizations that further students interest in biology while exposing them to its relationship with other scientific disciplines.
