Biology
Overview
We know you are selecting a college for more than just its location or school colors. You want to go somewhere that will prepare you for the future. Your future. At Southern Nazarene University, we want that for you too. That is why we work hard to make sure our degrees are supported by a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum. We hire highly-qualified faculty who not only know the ins and outs of the profession you seek, but who truly wish to see you succeed individually. And we make sure you leave SNU prepared for a great job in Bio-Chemistry. That’s why we can encourage you to not just dream, but to dream with confidence.
Individualized Programs
As a student in the SNU Biology program, you are our number one priority—a priority our program is designed around. One-on-one experiences with faculty cultivate your knowledge and grow your education. Lab sessions with no more than 25 students help you get the individualized learning you need to succeed. You will find our atmosphere to be supportive and collegial. Combined with a strong commitment to the integration of faith and learning, SNU provides a powerful community where you will form life-long friendships.
Opportunities for Growth
At SNU we know you need more than just classroom lectures to learn. That’s why we create unique environments to take your education to the next level. Outside of our state of the art facilities including a cadaver lab and new modern labs currently underway, we find opportunities for you to learn in off campus locations that will look great on your resume! Consider spending a semester abroad in Costa Rica where you can take several courses ranging from tropical ecology to global stewardship. You will be able to work at the Quetzal Education Research Center in the heart of Costa Rica. Study ecology and sustainability on site in a tropical rainforest! Or even conduct your own independent research. A rare opportunity to find at a private university. Perhaps you’ll spend some time at the AuSable Institute of Environmental studies. There you will learn from field-based courses in environmental studies and environmental sciences at one of several locations. Michigan. Washington. South India. Latin America.

These scholars with a Christian worldview will mentor and guide you along the way. SNU’s smaller size allows students to interact with faculty — not only in the classroom, but also through impactful mentoring, personal advising, and meaningful research.
