Bachelor of Science in Biology Curriculum

The Biological Sciences program prepares students for positions such as laboratory managers, pharmaceutical sales representatives, research specialists, compliance officers, mitigation consultants, and conservation officers in science-related fields such as biotechnology, environmental-related industries, and laboratory and field research. Students majoring in biology receive a strong challenging, broad-based, and integrated foundation in many disciplines within the biological sciences to provide them with the foundation and tools necessary for successful careers. Through traditional lecture as well as hands-on inquiry, students have the opportunity to develop a sound knowledge base, expand on written and oral communications skills, acquire proficiency in data collection and analysis, and increase efficacy and comfort in both laboratory and field settings. Each student will use this information and skill set to examine all levels of the natural world from the molecular to the global level. EAch student will also investigate an area or top of his or her choice and work one-on-one with a faculty member and/or site supervisor. It is a chance for the student to apply the information and skills gained during coursework to a self-designed area of study.

Success in a scientific career is based on strong foundations. The Biological Sciences program provides opportunities for students to develop these integrated foundations. Specifically, the program fosters critical thinking skills and an active engagement in the study of biology, assists students in developing an understanding of the principles governing life, encourages an appreciation for the complexities of life and organismal interactions, enhances the connection between the hierarchical levels of the natural world from the molecular to the global level, promotes enjoyment and appreciation of the global environment, and prepares students for careers in the ever-changing field of science.
