About us

The Biology Department at UPR offers a versatile undergraduate curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree that will prepare students for graduate school in areas of ecology, organismal, cellular, or molecular biology, or for medical school and related health-allied professions. For those that are not interested in pursuing graduate careers, we offer a broad range of courses that when coordinated with those of other departments in the College of Natural Sciences, will allow proficiency in microbiology-immunology, biodiversity, biotechnology, environmental sciences or bioinformatics. We have a group of extremely well qualified faculty that are involved in cutting edge research programs of international recognition, and offer motivating classes in their areas of expertise. The Department of Biology has traditionally encouraged students to get involved in research at various levels.
