Department of Biology

Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Biology at Indiana State University is to nurture the academic potential of every student, advance knowledge through quality research, and serve the university and broader communities. Through experiential learning both within and outside the classroom, we motivate our students to become critically thinking, informed citizens with a heightened interest in science. Through one-on-one mentoring, we engage both undergraduate and graduate students in the excitement and challenge of original research. Through research and outreach education, we make valuable contributions at both local and national scales to the scientific community and the well-being of the general public.

Dozens of Biology students are doing research in laboratories in the Biology Department all the time. Students can do independent research in a lab for credit or as part of the Honors program. It's great experience that can provide an insight into what research is really like. Visit the Research page to find out how you can get involved. Or, read profiles on some of the students and their projects: Student profiles.
