Why Choose the Biological Sciences Program?
The Bachelor of Science curriculum offers a broad, integrated, and in-depth approach to the life sciences. Departmental requirements consist of a balanced core of courses selected from several subject areas, combined with elective courses from the Department of Biological Sciences and other life science departments such as Neuroscience, Cell Biology and Physiology, and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. This degree program can accommodate students with such differing interests and objectives as graduate work in molecular biology, laboratory work in microbiology, or fieldwork in ecology. The B.S. degree also can serve as preprofessional preparation for programs such as medical, dental, or veterinary sciences, or for education licensure.
If interested in the B.S., you may also choose among three concentrations:
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology
- Biology Education
Learn more about these concentrations on the Biological Sciences Program Description website.
