The Department
of Biology at IUPUI offers both the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor
of Science (BS) degrees in Biology. Our department has over
20 faculty members who teach lecture and laboratory courses, and
do research with graduate and undergraduate students. Degree programs
in the Department of Biology have been designed for students interested
in graduate school, medical school, dental school, or other professional
health programs, as well as for those preparing for careers in biotechnology
or bioinformatics.

Undergraduate Research
As
a research university, IUPUI encourages undergraduates to experience the
discovery of new knowledge through supervised research with the faculty.
A student may enroll in independent study for credit (K490) with any of
the Biology Faculty. In this independent study setting, an individual
student meets weekly or biweekly with a faculty member, who tailors reading
and writing assignments to the special scholarly interests of the student.
In other cases, students may enroll in supervised independent research
(K493) in a faculty member's laboratory as part of their research group.
The Department
of Biology offers a wide variety of research options. Students may work
with faculty members on research projects in the immune system, brain
development, hormone biology, spinal cord regeneration, yeast gene cloning
and antifungal drug studies, membrane biochemistry and biophysics, cancer
biology, kidney physiology, molecular development, tumor biology, plant
molecular biology, plant cell biology, and wound repair and tissue engineering.
