Welcome to our website, we're glad you're here! On any given day in Jones Science Center, you'll find our faculty and students preparing bacterial cultures, identifying trees, preparing presentations, working in study groups or involved in lab dissections. Our desire is to provide our students with a broad background in biology. Coupled with the opportunity for research and the background you'll get from the Ouachita CORE curriculum, you will be equipped for entering almost any health related field, for teaching, or for occupations in government or industry. Please take a look around our site and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us!
Congratulations to the May 2008 Biology Grads!
Quick Facts:
Biology has historically graduated more students within the Natural Sciences than any other major, and is one of the largest majors on the Ouachita campus.
Most of our majors are working towards a health profession such as medical or dental school, but many move into graduate school and research fields.
A significant number of our students are accepted for summer research experiences, both on campus and off-campus.
90% of our alumni indicated that "interaction with faculty" was a key part of their Ouachita education.
90% of our alumni indicated they would recommend the Biology program at Ouachita to students wishing to enter the same or similar professions.
