Biology BS

The B.S. in Biology provides a strong foundation in the biological sciences and includes a solid background in chemistry, math, and physics. Graduates are prepared for both immediate entry into the job market or continuing education in professional and graduate programs.

The B.S. degree includes three concentrations: Microbiology, Organismal Biology & Ecology, and Pre-Professional Biology. The concentrations share a common core of required biology courses, with each concentration having additional specific requirements. Each concentration requires an individualized research and presentation experience that emphasizes development of communication and critical thinking skills.
