Biology majors select from a range of concentrations, including cell and molecular biology, functional biology of animals, organismal biology and ecology, and secondary school biology.

• The cell and molecular biology concentration provides background for advanced studies in cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, microbiology, immunology and diverse fields that involve molecular tools in research. This concentration is also excellent preparation for professional degree programs in medicine, dentistry or veterinary medicine, or for a career in biology education, biomedical research or fields that integrate biology with other disciplines such as business or law.?

• The functional biology of animals concentration is designed to give you an understanding of animal physiology consistent with the expectations of medical and dental education programs, veterinary medicine programs, anatomy and physiology graduate programs, or a career in research (as a clinical or basic science research technician). This concentration is also an option if you are interested in medically related fields.?

• The organismal biology and ecology concentration prepares you for advanced studies in botany, zoology, conservation biology or ecology, and/or career opportunities in environmental education, government environmental regulatory agencies and the private sector.?

• The secondary school biology concentration prepares you to teach biology in grades 7-12 through the innovative Towson UTeach. The field intensive curriculum allows you to complete both a bachelor?s degree and all coursework for middle and high school teacher certification in four years.?
