Students also have the opportunity to participate in research, often culminating with student research being published or presented at scientific conferences.

Facilities are excellent, including a modern building with "smart classrooms" and dedicated research spaces. The department also has a greenhouse facility and a 350 acre biological reserve with a well equipped field station within walking distance of campus.

Off-campus opportunities for study and research include semester and summer programs at the Duke University Marine Biology Laboratory, the Semester-at-Sea, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the School for Field Studies, and the Oak Ridge National Laboratories, among others.
