From the very start, ºÃÉ«ÏÈÉúTV Biology students are practicing Biologists.

Above are just some of the ways that we regularly engage Biology majors. It happens as a result of the dedicated work of our diverse faculty, who use effective classroom teaching methods, maintain active research programs, and foster a wide range of partnerships in Memphis and beyond. Explore our pages to learn more about the department. Then, contact the Department chair, Dr. Mary Miller, with any questions that remain. We hope you′ll be one of our next practicing biologists.

Every Perspective is Important

The Biology Department is committed to creating an academic climate that is safe and respectful of all students, staff, and faculty regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, size, socioeconomic background, religion, spirituality, physical ability, mental ability, or any other aspect of one’s identity. A climate of mutual respect allows us to ask difficult questions and to participate in honest discussions, even in the context of strong disagreement. Creating this kind of open, honest, and respectful climate is our mutual responsibility.
