Degree: Bachelor of Science
What is Biology?
Biology is the study of living things from the smallest bacteria to the largest mammals, including humans.
The curricula and courses offered by the School of
Biological Sciences are designed to prepare students to meet a
broad range of career goals. Two undergraduate degrees are
offered: Bachelor of Science in Biology and Bachelor of Science
in Medical Technology. Each degree program includes general
education courses; a group of required courses in biology,
chemistry, mathematics, and physics; and electives, selected
with approval of the advisor, appropriate to a concentration.
Objectives and Career Opportunities
The School of Biological Sciences provides a solid foundation
in both the biological sciences and chemistry and is designed to
prepare students for a broad range of careers. The BS degree in
Biology and the BS degree in Medical Technology allow
students to design a medical/science-oriented curriculum that
meets their career goals. The Animal Biology, Applied Biology,
Cell and Molecular Biology, Microbiology, and Plant Biology
concentrations prepare students for postgraduate study or for
jobs as research assistants, managers or staff scientists in a wide
range of academic and industrial laboratories, state and federal
agencies, and private industry.
Degree Programs and Concentrations
Two undergraduate degrees are offered: BS in Biology and BS
in Medical Technology. The BS in Biology offers areas of
concentration in Animal Biology, Applied Biology, Cell and
Molecular Biology, Microbiology, and Plant Biology.
High school and pre-preparation
Students are admitted to the Biology program immediately upon enrollment to the university. Students are urged to complete a rigorous high school preparation including at least one year each of biology, chemistry, and physics. Practical experience in a clinical setting is desirable for pre-professional students.
