Excel in Biology
 
Degrees

Our biology program provides an excellent background for student who want to work in biomedical sciences (physician, dentist, pharmacist, optometrist, etc.), field ecology, laboratory work or many other areas. It features a sound footing in concepts and theory across the biological sciences along with lots of hands-on experiences in lab and in the field. It’s a flexible program that lets you select the specific classes that best suit your interests and needs. Students in the BS Biology program complete a senior thesis research project and a university approved minor.

Additional Programs

  • Pre-Professional studies (e.g., “pre-med”)
    Our biology program is an excellent way to prepare for entry into Medical School, Dental School, Veterinary School, Optometry School, Pharmacy School, and other professional studies programs. Biology students work with a pre-professional advisor to select the classes that best suit their needs while providing a well-rounded Biology degree. We have a good record of placing students in top-ranked professional schools.

  • B.A. Biology
    The Bachelor of Arts option is designed for students who want a more flexible program that would be suited for careers in biologically oriented businesses, as a tech writer, or in other situations that require a more general but perhaps less technical background. The B.A.degree requires 8 credits in a single foreign language.

  • B.S. Clinical Laboratory Sciences
    Our Clinical Lab Sciences program provides an excellent background for students who want to work in a medical support setting such as analyzing blood samples in a hospital or clinic. Students in the BS Clinical Lab Science Program complete a year-long internship at an approved medical facility.

  • B.S. Biology/Secondary Teacher Education
    Our biology program qualifies students to become high school biology teachers.
