• Biology is the study of organisms, including the molecular and cellular basis of life, development of the individual and its genetic basis, maintenance of the individual, and interaction of organisms with their biotic and physical environment.
  • The Biology program offers both Bachelor of Sciences (BS) and a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree programs in Biology. 
  • Both degree programs build on a strong foundation in chemistry, mathematics, and physics that provides the concepts and methodologies needed to understand biological complexity at multiple levels.
  • Students explore the Fundamentals of Biology through three foundational courses that provide a thorough introduction to organisms, ecosystems, cellular and molecular biology, and physiology.

  • The BSc program is most appropriate for students interested in graduate studies in the biological sciences or technical positions in industry, including biotechnology, government agencies, and research institutes. Both programs provide excellent preparation for professional careers in the health sciences.
