Message from the Department Head
Welcome to the Department of Biology at Valdosta State University. We have continued our third year of double digit growth in the number of freshmen biology majors enrolled at VSU. We started the fall 2008 semester with just over 750 majors overall, which continues to make us the most popular undergraduate major on campus. Our records indicate we have more than 1000 declared biology majors at VSU, although not all are enrolled each term. Our MS in Biology degree program is now two years old and we graduated our first group of students in the summer of 2008. The fact that so many students choose our programs is a clear testament to the quality of the degrees students earn here at VSU and also to the quality of the faculty we have here in the Department of Biology. If I can be of any help to you as a prospective or current student please e-mail me at rlgannon@valdosta.edu.
Robert L. Gannon, Ph.D.
Professor and Head of Biology
The BS Biology degree requirements have changed. Beginning in fall 2009 all students declaring biology as their major will follow the new curriculum. Please consult the linked advising worksheet to get a synopsis of the new degree. This new degree will allow you as a student much more flexibility in choosing your upper-level biology courses. Also available is the advising worksheet for the Honors Program.
The BS Biology degree has Pre-Professional tracks. Aside from the required courses, students would be advised to take track-specific courses. The track advising worksheets available are as follows: Pre-Medicine track
