About the Department of Biology:

The Biology Department at Seattle Pacific University is a place where students and faculty engage collaboratively in constructing and refining their understanding of the biological world.

• Master's degree in biology or relevant field
• Bachelor's degree applicants will be considered
• Commitment to support active, participatory learning experiences
