The faculty of the Biology Department believes that students must work in and beyond the classroom to develop a personal perspective of biological knowledge.  The faculty understands its role to be that of teachers, mentors, and friends who guide students to knowledge and help them comprehend it.  Additional growth may be gained outside the classroom.
