Through a diverse environment of learning, teaching, and research, the Division of Biological and Applied Health Sciences advances human and societal well-being at Xavier University. 

Individuals and species each possess characteristics that make them unique.Biology involves studying these organisms, as well as their functions and characteristics. Our health and well-being is impacted by our physical environment, by our individual behaviors, and by an array of elements that work together to influence human health. Among the components of public health are the study of policies as well as individual behavior and choices that impact health.The study of speech pathology is the study of human communication - its normal development, its disorders, and prevention strategies.

These fields of study are investigated by the division’s three departments, the Department of Biology, the Department of Public Health Sciences, and the Department of Speech Pathology. Students majoring in these subjects will be prepared for careers in a variety of fields in biomedical sciences, public health, and the life sciences. Students also may continue their studies by seeking advanced degrees in medical or other professional schools, or in graduate school. Faculty members in the division are involved in research projects in various fields of biology, public health, and speech pathology. They bring their research expertise into the classroom, and also bring students into the field, laboratory, and clinic to participate with them in their investigations. The Division of Biological and Applied Health Sciences is committed to preparing its students to assume roles of leadership and service in a global society.
