Welcome
to the web page for the Department of Biological Sciences at California
State University, Los Angeles! Here you’ll find information about our undergraduate
and graduate
degree programs, student advisement,
scholarship and financial assistance opportunities , student clubs
and activities, and information about our faculty and staff.
You will also find links to special
student programs such as the CEA-CREST program, the MORE Programs, and
the Health Career Opportunity Program/Health Career Advisement Office.
Prospective students will also find links to application
information and forms.
The faculty and
staff of the Department of Biological Sciences are committed to providing
our students with an outstanding academic environment that successfully
prepares them for careers as research scientists, health professionals,
teachers, natural resource managers, and a host of other professions. Many
of these students work closely with our faculty not only in the classroom
and teaching laboratories, but also in research laboratories. As a result,
several of our undergraduate and master’s degree students are co-authors
with faculty on articles appearing in national and international research
journals, and have earned awards for their research presentations at state
and national competitions. Faculty members receive research funding from
agencies such as the National Institutes of Health, the National Science
Foundation, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, in recognition of the high quality teaching and
research activity that takes place at Cal State Los Angeles. I hope you
will go to the individual faculty web
pages and learn more about these outstanding members of the Cal State
Los Angeles community.
If
you have any questions regarding the department or our programs, please
feel free to contact me, or any faculty member in your field of interest.
Contact information for general questions about the department is provided
