Biology
Do you love learning how living things work—from cells to ecosystems—and want to use that passion to make a difference? Corban’s biology program equips you with the knowledge, lab skills, and research experience to thrive in fields like medicine, public health, ecology, or scientific research.
Work closely with experienced faculty in small classes and labs, gaining personalized mentorship and practical experience through internships, research projects, and lab assistantships. Whether you’re preparing for grad school or jumping into a science-related career, you’ll graduate with the critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills to succeed. And with every class grounded in a biblical worldview, you’ll see science as a way to glorify God and serve others.

Featured Courses
Ecology and Evolution
Explore the inner workings of ecosystems and the role humans play in shaping them. Learn how plant and animal populations change over time and analyze data to make biblically informed recommendations for creation care and sustainability.
Animal Physiology
Discover how animal bodies function by studying systems such as nervous, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, and excretory. Gain a foundational understanding of the biological processes that support life in the animal kingdom.
Cell & Molecular Biology
Uncover the molecular mechanisms that drive cellular life. Study organelles, signaling, genetics, division, and more while exploring experimental techniques that reveal how cells function, grow, and respond to their environment.
Genetics
Analyze how traits are passed down and expressed. Explore Mendelian and non-Mendelian genetics, DNA repair, gene regulation, and biotechnology through real-world lab experiments and data interpretation.
