The unique advantage of studying biological science at Messiah is that you'll work in the context of a Christian liberal arts education. Thus, while investigating the world around you, you'll also study yourself and the Creator. The department places special emphasis on integrating the knowledge and methods of the sciences with what Christian faith teaches about people and their place in the universe. Additionally, the Central Pennsylvania Forum for Religion and Science, which is under the direction of a departmental faculty member, regularly sponsors a variety of events to promote a better understanding of religion and science and is also a resource available to students.
