Biology deals with the origin, history, characteristics and habits of life. The approach in biology education is dynamic in order to keep the program current with advances being made in the field. At AUC, as in many colleges and universities, there is a growing tendency to merge what have diverged into widely segregated fields: botany and zoology, classical and modern molecular approach, and field and laboratory studies. Today, with recent advances in the fields of biomedicine, molecular biology and genetics, as well as the growing political interests in the environment and biodiversity, the discipline is growing with increasing opportunities in the job market for well-trained biologists.
