Bachelor of Science - Biology

The bachelor's degree in biology provides up-to-date training in the biological sciences, including fields of concentration in ecology and evolution as well as molecular and cellular biology.

Students in the biology major take courses in related areas of science, such as chemistry and physics, as well as biology courses and electives that allow students to focus on topics that interest them. Students also have the opportunity to participate in faculty-guided biology research.

Students who successfully complete the program are prepared to compete nationally for admission to graduate programs in the life and health sciences, medical and dental school, and entrance into civil service and industrial positions. Requirements for admission to most medical schools can be met by completion of the biology major without the need for additional courses.
