BS Biology

The Biology major is designed to provide a high-quality education to students looking to begin science-related careers and those planning to continue on to graduate school. The program provides students with broad training in the biological sciences, physical sciences and mathematics, while also allowing them the opportunity to focus on topics in biology that are of particular interest to them. Students receive hands-on training in the methods and technology of the discipline, build their critical thinking and problem-solving skills and participate in original research as part of the many laboratory and field courses, and the independent study, internship and study abroad opportunities that they have to choose from across our three campuses. As graduates, our students succeed in careers in the private sector, academia and all levels of government.
