A Word from the Department Chair

The diverse academic programs offered by the Biology Department at East Carolina University are predicated on a rich tradition of teaching by more than thirty caring faculty who conduct teaching and research in a variety of areas including: ecology, evolution and organismal biology, and cellular and molecular biology. Teaching and research thrusts, supported by highly skilled technical and administrative staff, range from the broad global-community ecological issues down to cellular and molecular levels.

Our program provides preparation for more than 600 undergraduate majors and approximately 90 graduate students seeking careers in a variety of health-related, industrial, business, academic, research and professional fields. A low student to teacher ratio in upper division classes provides the opportunity for stimulating and meaningful student-faculty interaction as well as success in achieving educational goals of learning in one of the largest academic units on campus. However, in spite of our size, the Department of Biology envelops a friendly, helpful, and scholarly attitude that enables students to meet successfully the challenges of a rigorous, modern curriculum.

The coastal wetlands of eastern North Carolina and the large professional health community and excellent facilities associated with the university medical programs offer educational and research opportunities to students that are most unique and very specific to the Department of Biology at East Carolina University.
