Department Summary

The Biology Program at Bridgewater State University offers Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science - Secondary Education and Bachelor of Arts degrees and provides students with a broad background in the biological sciences allowing for flexibility in career choices. The overall goal of our program is to expose students to the scientific process and to promote the ability to think critically and to communicate science effectively. Students are the central focus and an integral part of the Department, working side-by-side with faculty who are enthusiastically committed to teaching and research. A strong sense of community is fostered through small class sizes and individualized mentoring from faculty, and this community is reinforced through our departmental seminar series and interactions among students and faculty. Students are encouraged to complete original research projects, which often culminate in publication or presentation at local, national or international conferences. The Department recognizes its responsibility to contribute to the understanding and thinking of non-science majors via its involvement in the Core Curriculum. As such, the mission of the department helps to encourage and to support student placement in professional and academic positions in Massachusetts, where biotechnology and education are economic engines. Successful candidates will be faculty members who can work with their colleagues to help meet the mission of the department in serving and supporting our racially and ethnically diverse campus community.

The teaching and learning environment at Bridgewater also cultivates meaningful and diverse interpersonal relationships and fosters an appreciation for global engagement aimed at transforming lives and improving the human condition.

Our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is reflected in our institutional values, which ensure that all students are supported and succeed.
