Why Study Biology at Concordia
Concordia’s biology professors are committed to you and your education. They help lead you through the biology major with an advanced advising program that will help you reach your goals. The faculty members have diverse scientific knowledge and areas of expertise including ecology, genetics, entomology, anatomy, physiology, ornithology and environmental science – just to name a few.
You can also do research with faculty members who will help you put theory into action. You can study flora and fauna in the North Dakota Badlands, the genetics of lupus-prone mice in an on-campus laboratory, elephants in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania or parasitic diseases in Venezuela. There are also special travel opportunities such as May Seminars to Tanzania or the Galapagos Islands.
One in four students at Concordia choose a biology-related field and dozens participate in the campus chapter of the biology honor society Beta Beta Beta. A biology honors program is also available for high-achieving students during their junior year. If you are interested in a medical field, we have a great medical school admittance rate. In the past 10 years, 175 out of 198 Concordia applicants were accepted into medical school.
