It was designed to meet the specific requirements for the Michigan State University-College of Veterinary Medicine, but our students go to vet schools all over the country, for example North Carolina State, Oklahoma State and University of Illinois.? This program stresses not only academics, but also the animal care experience that is critical for gaining admission to a veterinary college.

The Bachelor of Science degree in biology combines theory and concepts of biology with intensive, hands-on experiences in our state-of-the-art laboratories and a wealth of close-by field sites. Students build on a core of biology classes by selecting the physiology and taxonomy classes and other electives that best fit their interests.

The program is an excellent preparation for biology or related careers. Our graduates are currently employed as doctors, dentists, veterinarians, biological researchers, laboratory technicians,?consultants and teachers. Many careers in biology require education beyond the baccalaureate degree and LSSU?s biology program has a proven record of excellent preparation for professional and graduate school.
