Welcome to the CSUB Department of Biology Homepage

The Department of Biology offers programs of study in the life sciences for students seeking either a Bachelor of Science in Biology or a Master of Science in Biology. For the BS in Biology, students may select areas of emphasis in Botany, Zoology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Environmental or Pre-professional Biology. For the Masters, please see the link below. Throughout the curriculum emphasis is placed on the relationships between organisms and the environment. As an integral part of this emphasis, classes include extensive field and laboratory investigations allowing for the observation and measurement of biological systems. Students are encouraged to select courses best suited to their interests. We have prepared flyers for the more popular "tracks" with career information and recommended elective courses. They are listed below and available for you to download.
