A note from Dr. Laurie Richardson,
Chairperson and Professor:


The Department of Biological Sciences at Florida International University
is a research-intensive academic unit with an emphasis on educating broadly-trained life scientists. We offer Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and Marine Biology, and Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Biology.

The faculty, staff and students in the Department publish over 100 scientific papers yearly that describe the research funded by over $10M annually in grants and contracts. Our curriculum is rigorous and provides a background in critical thinking, research, and communications skills. Our undergraduate majors have successfully entered careers in the life sciences in public, private and non-profit organizations. Many of them enter graduate school in the life sciences, or professional schools like medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary science, and law. Our graduate degrees are designed to prepare the next generation of research scientists for academics, government, and industry.
