Program highlights

  • Engage in fields that support biological studies ? such as chemistry, physics and math ? to develop a thorough scientific knowledge base and get ready for a great career or graduate school.
  • Jump-start your career or graduate studies with experience! FSU offers tons of opportunities for students to get involved in independent research with a faculty member, as part of an ongoing project or for their own original studies.
  • Practice what you learn in facilities designed for your niche. FSU?s educational resources include specialized labs for animal physiology, biotechnology, genetics, cell biology, forestry, stream ecology? the list goes on! Western Maryland itself is full of unique environments for hands-on, out-of-the-classroom learning.
  • Hang out and explore biology with your peers in student-run clubs, like Beta Beta Beta Biological Honors society, The Wildlife Society, Quality Deer Management or the Sierra Student Coalition.
