B.S. Degree La Sierra University
The objectives of the Department of Biology are to help students better www.lasierra.edu
understand themselves and the living things around them, to develop a
scholarly approach to the study and evaluation of scientific information, and Department of Biology
to prepare for careers in biology, medicine and environmental sciences. The www.lasierra.edu/biology
department is committed to providing students with research opportunities
intended to result in poster presentations at scientific meetings and/or Faculty
publications in peer-reviewed journals. The faculty offers mentoring and Chair
collaboration to qualified, highly motivated students who seek research Lloyd Trueblood,Ph.D
opportunities in faculty laboratories. Interested students are encouraged to Advisors
discuss research opportunities with individual faculty members. Natasha Dean, Ph.D.
