Biological Sciences Department

Poised to meet the scientific challenges of the 21st century, Seminole State College's biological sciences faculty keeps a close watch on new developments in the field. Seminole State was the first state college in Florida to offer courses in the emerging field of biotechnology. Faculty members are well qualified, innovative and dedicated to student success, upholding high academic standards. 

The College's new state-of-the-art biology labs allow for hands-on research in all biology courses, and the program's small class sizes encourage frequent interaction between instructors and students.

Throughout the program, students receive crucial training in two of the industry's fastest growing occupations: health technology and environmental technology. Graduates are so well prepared that that they often tutor other students after transferring to a four-year college or university.
