Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences

The Department of Biological, Geological, and Environmental Sciences (BGES) at Cleveland State University was formed in July, 1997, by the merger of the Department of Biology and the Department of Geological Sciences, in order to improve programming for students in the fields of Biology, Geology, and Environmental Science. The BGES Department is one of the founding Departments of the College of Science, which became operational on 1 July, 2004.

The Department offers a wide range of BS and BA degrees at the undergraduate level, as well as MS degrees in Biology and in Environmental Science, and a PhD in Regulatory Biology. Students at both undergraduate and graduate levels have the opportunity to carry out research in conjunction with faculty, as well as independent study in areas of their own interest, and to take a wide range of formal courses.
