Biology at Millsaps
The Biology Department seeks to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles of biology, from the workings of a cell to the interrelationships among organisms and the physical environment. As part of this goal, the department prepares students with the factual basis of the current understanding of the living world and the skills to evaluate, question, and integrate new discoveries. One aspect of this preparation is the opportunity to perform inquiry-driven experiments through laboratory course work and undergraduate research opportunities. Students may participate in undergraduate research under the mentorship of biology faculty persons at Millsaps College, or they may perform research in association with faculty persons at the nearby University of Mississippi Medical Center under the guidance of a member of the Millsaps Biology Department faculty.
