Indiana University, Department of Biology

Indiana University’s Department of Biology is a large unified department with strong undergraduate degrees, nationally ranked graduate programs, and world-class research spanning the breadth of biological questions and experimental systems. Our faculty, research scientists, graduate and undergraduate students are exploring everything from ecosystems to microbiology and developmental biology, evolution to cell biology, molecular biology to systems biology, bioinformatics, and genomics. The Indiana University Jim Holland Summer Science Programs are specifically designed to address the ethnic and racial disparities that exist in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) fields. The Holland programs focus on high-achieving, underrepresented students who are currently in grades 8-11 (entering grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 in the fall)—including (but not limited to) African Americans, Hispanic Americans/Latinos, Native Americans, Native Alaskans/Native Pacific Islanders—and hopes to attract them to Indiana University for their college education. It is our goal to increase participation of students from underrepresented groups and, thus, increase diversity in the STEM fields.
