Message from the Department Chair

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 below.
