About Biology at JMU

	The Biology Department at James Madison University is located in Burruss Hall pictured at right, which is located in the main campus near the library and other university facilities. We currently serve over 800 undergraduate majors and 15 graduate students. It offers a wide variety of courses for biology and biotechnology majors, general education, and pre-health profession majors. Our 4-semester core curriculum was developed using NSF funding. The ~40 fulltime faculty members are engaged in teaching and research in a broad range of subdisciplines and mentor over 150 undergraduate student researchers during the academic year and in the summers. Many faculty are supported in their research by external or internal funds. Both individual and shared research spaces are located near faculty offices, and most classes and labs are taught in Burruss Hall.
