If you have addtional questions, please contact one of our undergraduate advisors.
BIOLOGY, B.S.
Do you want to know how people and organisms work? Do you want to make a difference in society? If so, a biology degree might be for you. Pursuing a biology degree will allow you to study the natural world, to explore underpinnings of behavior, physiology and biological processes, and to develop critical thinking and data analysis skills.
Degree requirements: Biology, B.S.


Ecology and Environmental Biology, Concentration within the Biology Major
This concentration allows students to focus their biological studies on the natural world, to help pursue opportunities working in field biology and or focus on biology that relates to the animal kingdom.
Degree requirements: Biology, B.S., Specialization: Ecology & Environmental Biology
Premedical Health Sciences, Concentration within the Biology Major
This concentration allows students to focus their coursework in areas related to premedical health sciences, and related health careers. Students can meet all entrance requirements for medical, dental, and other health careers by tailoring curricular choices under this concentration.
Requirements for this concentration can be found at: Biology, B.S. Specialization: PHS


MICROBIOLOGY, B.S.
This degree allows students to study microorganisms and their effects on other living organisms. This includes studying organisms like fungi, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms.
Degree requirements: Microbiology, B.S.
Cell & Molecular
Biology
This degree allows students to study biological molecules and cellular structures and their functional roles in organisms.
Requirements for this concentration can be found at: Cell and Molecular Biology, B.S.
