Department Chair Chris Yahnke

The UWSP Biology department is a center of excellence in education and undergraduate research. Our 23 faculty teach more than 500 biology majors and also serve the College of Natural Resources and College of Professional Studies majors. Student-professor interaction is a high priority at UWSP. Most of our classes and labs are taught by a Ph.D. instructor with expertise in the field, and we offer many opportunities for undergraduate research. UWSP Biology students excel in organismal biology and are encouraged to participate in field courses.
