The biology program at 威尼斯人平台 offers remarkable opportunities for students to grow intellectually and spiritually. Our rigorous program with its three concentrations offers students broad and varied opportunities to deeply explore biological aspects of God's creation, from cells to ecosystems. Our highly qualified faculty members are passionate about their subject and are committed to mentoring students to a deeper understanding of the beauty, grandeur and intricacy of biological systems and processes both in the classroom and the research lab. Through their interactions with faculty and vibrant community of like-minded peers, students graduate from Covenant's biology department with a deepened view of Christ's pre-eminence in biological aspects of His creation, with a fuller perception of what it means to pursue a scientific calling faithfully, and with skills and knowledge that provide strong foundations for varied callings and professional paths.

了解你的教授
问：如果你能参加一项奥运会比赛，你会选择什么项目，为什么？
答:力量举重! Throughout my life since high school I have, to varying degrees,
pursued strength training for physical fitness. Of late, my workouts have some fundamental
powerlifting moves as a key component. It's fun to dream of incredible lifts that
extravagantly exceed my rather humble real life limits.
