Program Overview
Judson University’s biology program integrates organismal and cell/molecular biology with a solid foundation in chemistry allowing students to synthesize information from diverse topics and acquire ideas and concepts that will sharpen your insights into biological systems.
Why Biology at Judson?
Focused attention
Our biology program offers hands-on experience in the laboratory and one-on-one attention from experienced and currently active in their field of study faculty. Biology majors will use instrumentation in their core chemistry courses, work as lab assistants, and be mentored in independent research projects.
Our Research
Biology students have presented research papers at regional meetings and have published them in student-friendly peer-reviewed journals (e.g. Molecular Genetic Analysis of Rbm45/Drbp1: Genomic Structure, Expression, and Evolution).
SEminar & Courses
Our students take part in a three-course seminar series where we negotiate the interaction between science and faith. In these seminar courses, we very intentionally cover the integration of Christianity with several topics that touch on the everyday lives of our students such as biotechnology, pollution, biodiversity, and the nature of scientific thought.
