The School of Biological, Environmental and Earth Sciences broadly studies the physical processes that shape the earth and all living organisms, from cells to ecosystems, and the interactions between humans and the environment. Faculty are engaged in cutting-edge research aimed at understanding how humans shape and interact with the environment including medical and healthcare applications. We leverage cross-disciplinary collaborations to study a dynamic and changing planet, while preparing students for careers in medicine, healthcare, biotechnology, environmental analysis, land use, natural resource management, sustainable development and planning and basic research in biology, biomedical sciences, geology and geography.
