About Our College:
The College of Natural
Sciences and Mathematics is a center of scientific learning in Long
Beach offering excellent educational opportunities. Our
student-centered instructional and research environment fosters
equity, diversity, and access; mentors students for lifelong
success by elevating character, skills, and mindset; creates
scientific knowledge through research; and promotes science and
mathematics in our community.
The College's mission is to educate the next diverse generation of
scientists and mathematicians, as well as a science-literate
citizenry, through inclusive teaching and research programs.
About Our Department:
The Department of
Biological Sciences is dedicated to ensuring that
our highly diverse graduates are prepared for future success by
offering a welcoming and challenging education that includes a
rigorous curriculum with high-quality research opportunities. Our
students learn to think like scientists, using concept-based
knowledge, rather than mastering facts. We value teaching and
research as essential components of education. Our graduate and
undergraduate students engage in research mentored by nearly 30
tenured/tenure-track faculty, leading to diverse career outcomes,
such as health professions, academia, teaching, industry, and
government agencies.
We have a strong record of graduating underrepresented and
underserved students; at CSULB these efforts are supported by an
extensive array of federal and state grants to support training of
undergraduate and graduate students for research careers including
scholarships, fellowships and UROP. (
https://www.csulb.edu/office-of-research-and-economic-development/student-research-opportunities).
Research facilities include a dedicated research laboratory space
with hood, and extensive shared molecular, imaging, and
computational instrumentation to set up a laboratory-based, student
focused research program. (

Use of department biological collections, field vehicles/boats,
marine facilities, and a greenhouse is also available.
