Biology

The Biology curriculum is designed to provide the student with a comprehensive, but thorough, understanding of all areas of biology during the first four semesters. The student may then specialize by taking those biology courses which will provide the best preparation for a future career. The curriculum offers four options for students: a Bachelor of Science in Biology with either a concentration in Life Science or Environmental Studies; a Bachelor of Arts in Biology; or a Biology minor. The Bachelor of Science degree is intended for students who wish to pursue a professional career in a biological field. These careers include academics, research, medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, environmental management, physical therapy, and others. The Bachelor of Arts degree is intended for students who enjoy biology, but plan to combine it with a career in another field such as business, law, education, or communications.
