An academic department is only as good as its faculty.

The Biological Sciences Department at SUNY Oswego boasts an outstanding faculty who are committed to a high standard of teaching, research, and service to the college community.  We believe in trying to build a learning-centered community where the discovery of knowledge plays an important role in every student's academic career. 

You'll find members of the Department of Biological Sciences share a commitment to high quality teaching, research, and academic advisement, and who work closely with individual students and student organizations.
