• Students will gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in a wide range of careers in science, research, education, health and other fields.
  • Inside and outside the classroom, they will learn to think independently and work collaboratively. 
  • If students are interested in pursuing a career in education, the Department of Biological Sciences also partners with the College of Education to award teaching degrees.
  • The B.S. in Biological Sciences major offers students a structured curriculum, with more of an emphasis on science- and math-focused courses. As they gain a strong foundation of knowledge in biological science theories and practices, they will choose one of the following concentrations:
    • cell and molecular biology
    • ecology and evolution
    • integrative biology
    • medicine and health
    • microbiology and biotechnology
    • neuroscience
