Why Study Biology at Southwestern?

Biology is a study for the curious - for the student who wants to explore, whether it be searching for the secrets of the molecules of life, the mysteries of the gene, the dynamics of ecological relationships, the source of an illness, or the death of a dinosaur.  All of your explorations will be built on a foundation of our growing understanding of God's creative power. 

Come learn with us.  Whether you want to explore microscopic life, experiment with plant behavior, or be a medical professional, the biology department and the teachers at Southwestern Adventist University are dedicated to your learning success.
