Overview

Biology is the study of life, yes, but within the study of life is a universe of subjects to explore: molecular biology, cell biology, organismal biology and ecology. At Anderson University (South Carolina), you can delve deeply into these subdisciplines and prepare for careers in research, health care, consulting, and other fields.

Why Anderson University (South Carolina)?

In addition to being a supportive, Christian environment, here are other reasons why you should consider studying biology here:

Close-knit communityWe’re small and close-knit. Our intro classes and labs are capped at 24 students, and the same professor who teaches your lecture will teach your lab. You can’t expect to have such small intro classes and labs at a large research university. Because we’re small, you can personally know all of your profs and fellow students. You can be on a first-name basis with everyone in the biology program.
Rigor and researchYou’ll learn a lot of biology, but you’ll also learn how to think critically through case studies and labs that challenge you to draw upon what you’re learning in biology sub-disciplines. We could ask you what symptoms a medical patient would display—and why—if she had a specific genetic disorder. You’d draw upon your studies in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and organismal biology to answer this sample question. And to graduate, you’ll also complete a research project on an original question you’ll propose in which you design and carry out an experiment, and present your findings. This rigor and research will prepare you for a career in science.
Knowledgeable professors who are approachableOur professors are accomplished and knowledgeable, but they’re also approachable. That means that as an undergrad, you’ll feel comfortable asking for help and inquiring about research opportunities. And after you graduate, you’ll feel comfortable cultivating similar relationships with professors in medical school and other graduate programs. Feeling comfortable with your professors and others will help you obtain vital understanding—and success—in school and beyond.
Research resources: cancer center and nature parkAU has facilities, equipment and resources that will support your research, such as the Center for Cancer Research and the Rocky River Nature Park. Even as an undergrad, you can conduct research in cancer, environmental water quality, and myriad other biology-related topics.
