Our diverse and experienced faculty is committed to personalized instruction, lecturing and teaching labs; something that doesn’t happen for freshmen level courses at large institutions. We have a long tradition of preparing students for professional positions and graduate programs in the medical, pharmaceutical, dental, veterinary, industrial, environmental, and natural resource management fields.
As a Biology major, you can connect your 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 National Biological Honor Society and the Science Club offer students additional educational, service, and fellowship opportunities.
