University of La Verne

The Biology Department at the University of La Verne strives to provide its students of all ages with an education rich in the theories, applications, and values vital to promoting professional development and the quality of life of Earth.

We accomplish this pursuit through teaching, research, and action. Small classes offer a unique student-centered academic environment. Joint research projects between faculty and students encourage hands-on work and engaging laboratory outcomes. And between La Verne’s multiple research facilities in Montana and the singular Cultural and Natural History Collection – where you can examine the skull of a sabre-tooth cat up close – budding biologists are given the opportunity to literally be “in the field.”
