MISSION OF THE DEPARTMENT
The mission of the Department of Biological Sciences parallels that of Hunter College: to
provide a quality education for our undergraduate and graduate students, enabling them to
participate productively in their chosen pursuits. The Department actively encourages
specific careers such as academic and industrial research, medicine, dentistry, veterinary
medicine, and college and high school teaching. At the same time, the Department takes a
leading role in promoting the college-wide goals of broadening and deepening an
individual's outlook, and of heightening intellectual creativity.
