Internationally recognized research projects and first-class instruction are the hallmarks
of the University of South Carolina’s Department of Biological Sciences.
More than 50 faculty members teach and train about 1,600 undergraduate majors and
60 graduate students. We're part of a large, top tier research university, but within
the department, we foster a mutual respect among faculty and students which enables
each student to share knowledge and experience with fellow students, and to draw on
the expertise of any professor in the department.
You'll learn from faculty members whose specialties include integrative biology; plant
biology; cancer biology; molecular, cellular, and developmental biology; biotechnology,
and bioinformatics.
Through our faculty members, undergraduate and graduate students have plentiful opportunities
to participate in research beyond the classroom
Our Students
We currently offer undergraduate (B.S.) graduate (M.S. and Ph.D.)
Professor Mousseau and students to study effects of radiation on strays in Ukraine.
Please read about it at The Post and Courier or our site for News . There is also a crowdfunding effort to further this cause.
Also, NatGeo reported on his similar work in invertebrates.
Our department has weekly seminars over the regular semester, typically at 4:00 PM
