Department Mission

The mission of the Department of Biology & Chemistry is to educate and train students for positions of influence and leadership in the scientific community. We seek to offer programs that provide diverse learning and research experiences to students who desire work in the biological and chemical sciences in its variety of expressions.

As Christians embracing the truth of God revealed in both His scriptures and His creation, we desire to disciple students into active followers of Christ who apply the biblical worldview and principles to the pursuit of Him. We strive to instill in our students that, as humans, we are uniquely called to be stewards of His creation and to glorify him through the demonstration of excellence and the highest ethical standards in our current and future careers. The skills and knowledge we obtain have the highest goal of advancing His kingdom purposes through our service and professional work.
