Welcome to the website of the Department of Biological Science at Cal State Fullerton. We offer an undergraduate Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) in Biological Science, and a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Biology.
We are dedicated to educating the individual student using active-learning,
inquiry-based educational approaches. The undergraduate curriculum provides
all biology majors with broad exposure to fundamental biological principles,
and depth of knowledge within a specialized area of concentration chosen
by the student. Our program is distinctive in the region in the number
of excellent opportunities that are available for faculty-mentored undergraduate
research. Our mission is to help guide students to acquire the skills,
develop the attitudes, and master the information necessary to continue
their education, obtain desirable employment in biology-related careers,
and be productive citizens.
Our rigorous graduate program provides students with advanced learning
opportunities in key areas of biology through the completion of original,
thesis-based research. The M.S. degree prepares students for entry into
Ph.D. and health-professions programs; careers with governmental and non-governmental
agencies and in the private sector; and teaching at the two-year college
level.
Our 25 full-time faculty and most of our teaching programs are housed in McCarthy and Dan Black Halls, which are located at the south end of campus. Most faculty members are actively engaged in research, which can be broadly divided into five areas:
Biodiversity, Ecology, and Conservation Biology
Cellular and Developmental Biology
Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
