Our mission
The mission of our department and curriculum is to educate
students in the field of biology and within the context
of a Kalamazoo College liberal arts education. Through
our courses, research collaborations, and advising we
help each of our students become an intrinsically motivated,
self-directed learner who enjoys a biologist’s
keen awareness of the natural world. Specifically, we
foster development of the following attributes in our
biology majors: 1) knowledge of the diversity of living
organisms and levels – from molecules to ecosystems
– at which those organisms can be studied; 2)
understanding of how organisms are affected by their
evolutionary and developmental trajectories and how
these are influenced by environmental contingency; 3)
ability to discover new biological knowledge and then
communicate it effectively to others; and 4) curiosity
about and empathy toward our shared environment.
