B.S. in Biology

Students completing a degree in Biology choose a concentration based upon their career goals. Students are urged to consult with advisors in selecting the concentration that is best suited to their post-graduate career. The course work in the biological sciences concentration satisfies the course requirements for entrance to most graduate, medical, and dental schools, as well as other medical fields if certain electives are taken. Occasionally, students are accepted to and enroll in medical, dental, or other professional school before completion of the bachelor's degree. To graduate with a BS degree in Biology, the student must earn a grade of "C" or better in all Biological Sciences courses counted toward graduation requirements. In addition to the two degrees offered by the School of Biological Sciences, Louisiana Tech University can prepare students for entry to professional programs offered at other institutions.
