• The Biology Bachelor program does not offer a pre-professional degree, but it does prepare students for professional programs as well as for advanced degrees in the biological sciences.
  • A major in biology is valuable because of the important role that biology plays in our everyday lives. An understanding of basic biological principles is crucial in interpreting the implications of environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity, the impact of genetic engineering and biotechnology in crop improvement, the treatment of disease, forensic medicine, and legal and ethical issues associated with the above.
