Academics: School of Arts & Sciences
Biology

The Department of Biology and Physical Sciences offers biology majors a solid education in contemporary biology using a personal approach. Our diverse and experienced faculty are committed to personalized instruction. We have a tradition of preparing students for professional positions or graduate programs in the following fields:

• Medical
• Pharmaceutical
• Dental
• Veterinary
• Industry
• Environmental
• Natural Resource Management

The Department of Biology and Physical Science fosters engaged learning and personal attention. Chowan science profressors teach both lecture and laboratory sections, a practice that is uncommon for freshman level courses at large institutions. Class sizes are small with most upper level classes having less than 20 students and some having less than 10. Biology majors can specialize their degree in the following areas: Allied Health Track, Environmental Biology Track, Chiropractic Track, and Biology Secondary Education Track.  

Chowan students learn on and off campus, connecting classroom knowledge with real world experience. Our internships provide students with opportunities to gain practical experience in professional settings. The Chowan University chapter of the Beta Beta Beta biology honor society and the Chowan University Science Club offer students additional educational, service and fellowship opportunities.

Our program of study, internship program, and opportunities for independent research, position our graduates competitively for immediate employment or graduate school.
