Biology: Curriculum

The Biology Department offers two Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree programs to prepare students for careers as research scientists, health care practitioners, educators, and technical personnel in industry, government, and other organizations.  The B.S. in Biology provides students with a comprehensive background in the biological sciences, along with extensive supporting coursework in chemistry, physics, and mathematics.  The B.S. in Life Science provides more flexibility to allow students to combine their study of biology with additional coursework in other disciplines, such as psychology, business, education, theology, social sciences, or communication.
