Biology: Life Science B.S.

The Life Science major is designed to allow students to combine coursework in biology with classes in other disciplines such as psychology, sociology, business, or communication.  It is appropriate for students preparing for admission to master's degree programs in physical therapy, hospital administration, and genetic counseling; it can also be used to meet admission requirements for programs in occupational therapy, optometry, environmental law, scientific illustration, public health, and science communication, among many possibilities. This is a more flexible program than the traditional biology major on which it is based. The degree program requires 120 credit hours.

To ensure that students meet the graduation requirement of 48 upper division credit hours, a minor in a complementary discipline is strongly recommended.
