Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Biology. Here you will find information about our degree programs, coursework, collaborative research with faculty, and other opportunities for students. Our program is designed to provide students with the necessary skills to integrate, interpret and translate biological phenomena so they can use this information to make meaningful decisions in their lives and careers.

UWEC biology students traveled to the Bahamas this winter to study coral reef ecology up close and personal as part of Biol-320, "Studies in Tropical Environments". Click on the starfish to see more photos from the class.
