Welcome to the Department of Biology at Texas State University
- San Marcos. The Biology
Department is a large, multidisciplinary department with many strong
research programs that are well funded. We serve about 11,000 students
each year in modern facilities with up to date instrumentation
emphasizing inquiry-based hands-on instruction. This year Biology has
about 1,200 undergraduate majors and 135 graduate (masters and Ph.D.)
students.
Our goal is to attain national and international prominence through
integrating undergraduate and graduate education with multidisciplinary
research programs. Through our educational, scholarship, and outreach
activities, the department will enhance the image of Texas State by
using the life sciences to help meet the current and future needs of
society in Texas, the United States, and the world.
