BGES offers a comprehensive program providing the education and training necessary for careers in modern biological science, including the background for admission to graduate schools and to professional schools (medicine, dentistry, veterinary science).

The biology major provides a solid foundation in fundamental areas of biology while permitting sufficient choice in course selection that majors may explore and develop areas of interest within the field.

Advising for biology majors: Biology and Medical Technology majors must discuss their program of study with the undergraduate advisor for biology prior to registration each semester.
