Academic Programs
Biology consists of many disciplines unified by the fact that all plants, animals, and microorganisms follow the same fundamental laws of heredity, reproduction, growth, development, self-maintenance, interaction, and response. Loyola’s biology program provides the academic foundation for diverse career opportunities in the medical and life sciences.

Research
Biology engages students in the study of life through active learning in the classroom and through collaborative research in the laboratory and field. Perhaps the most necessary skills of a biologist are an inquisitive outlook and enthusiastic curiosity.
