Department of Biology
Mission Statement
The Biology Department has three missions.
First, the overall mission is to produce graduates with a broad-based knowledge
of biology and the capacity of applying their education and critically
evaluating emerging scientific knowledge. Second, the department is committed
to providing research opportunities for faculty, undergraduate and graduate
students. Research and publication enhance the recognition and prestige of the
university and develop contacts and collaborations between Lamar faculty and
colleagues elsewhere. Third, the Biology Department provides courses that
fulfill the laboratory science for many degree plans and for the core
curriculum.
