BS in Biology

The BS in Biology offers a challenging curriculum — see Recommended 4-Year Sequence and full Admission & Course Requirements below — that successfully prepares students for graduate school, professional (medical, dental, veterinary) school, or research positions in industry. Interdisciplinary course work includes courses in chemistry, physics, and statistics and readies students for the diversity of upper-level biology courses taught by our faculty experts. Biology majors acquire a thorough, competitive background in biological science and are encouraged to obtain valuable research experience working one-on-one with faculty mentors in research labs on campus, to participate in study abroad and off-campus internships, and to gain teaching experience as student instructors.
