Welcome to the Department of Biology!

The mission of the Missouri Western State University Biology Department is to provide a collaborative learning environment in which students and faculty can apply their biological exploration and discovery experiences as professional and informed citizens.

Biology students study all forms of life at the molecular, organismal, and population levels of complexity. Students work in well-equipped laboratories using current tools and techniques, and in the department’s campus natural area where students study life in its natural environment.
