Trinity’s Department of Biology engages and supports students in a dynamic learning environment that promotes a broad, integrated, and interdisciplinary understanding of biological systems. We value and mentor students as colleagues in inquiry, blurring the lines between scholarship and teaching.

Why Study Biology at Trinity?
Biology at Trinity provides a broad introduction to the biological sciences and an opportunity for study and research at an advanced level. Biology courses employ hands-on, experiential learning, both in the laboratory and in the field. Students have access to numerous undergraduate research opportunities, work side-by-side with faculty members on intensive research projects, and present their findings at conferences and publish them in leading academic journals.
