Moravian Biology: Empowering You To Conduct Science With a Purpose, From the Lab Bench to the Field

Our mission is to empower students to conduct science with purpose. Through innovative courses, travel experiences, and undergraduate research, we help students develop scientific and professional skills that lead to success—regardless of their career path.

We actively engage students in scientific investigation, strengthening their spirit of inquiry, analytical abilities, and capacity to communicate effectively with both peers and the public. The skills that Moravian has cultivated for centuries—leadership, initiative, problem-solving, critical thinking, and data analysis—are increasingly valued by employers and essential for navigating an AI-driven world.

By fostering independent thinking and intellectual curiosity, we enable students to achieve lifelong personal and professional success while contributing meaningfully to society.

Biology today encompasses a very broad range of knowledge, from atoms and molecules to large-scale ecological interactions. The program in biology at Moravian University emphasizes the importance of gaining an appreciation for, and some mastery of, all aspects of modern biology. This broad base of knowledge gives you the ability to succeed in any arena calling for biological expertise: teaching at all levels; academic, government, private, and industrial research; science journalism and law; professional fields such as medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, and optometry; allied health areas such as physical and occupational therapy; and graduate study.

Biology majors use current methodological approaches in laboratories, learn about the intricacies of the subject in class, and discuss recent research findings in seminars. All students are encouraged to participate in an independent study or Honors project, in which you can work closely with a member of the biology faculty on a research topic. In addition, your may participate in field study opportunities to see how you might put your education to use after graduation.
