Welcome to the department of Biological Sciences at FAU. The Department is made up of 25 Faculty, approximately 165 graduate students and 1500 Undergraduate majors. We are the largest undergraduate major at FAU and our courses serve both majors and non-majors in thousands of hours of instruction. The department offers a wide variety of programs for undergraduate and graduate student research that lead to various careers in the life sciences.For example, a large Workforce Alliance grant from the labor department supports a series of courses in biotechnology and numerous students have
graduated with certificates in biotechnology. The departmental research effort has major focal points in conservation biology, molecular biology and marine biology and the faculty spend approximately 2 million dollars per year on their research efforts. Our students are a major part of this effort and 115 graduate students and 110 undergraduates work in research labs throughout the year.
