Welcome!

I am glad you are visiting our web pages because they will provide you with insight into one of the most dynamic, exciting departments at the university with internationally known and honored researchers and teachers.The thrill of discovery through the process of science does not end in the lab, however.Our faculty are award winning teachers whose enthusiasm in the classroom is coupled with concern for students, both undergraduate and graduate.In order to make them competitive in a world that puts and increasing emphasis on scientific expertise, our students have a curriculum that will give them the knowledge and tools to pursue their career goals.

More exciting than these web pages, of course, is a visit to our campus and to our department. Our new building will be completed soon and our state-of-the-art orchid conservatory opened last month.

Please email me at lmusselm@odu.edu if I can provide any information on our programs or if you have any other queries.
