Bachelor of Science in Biology

About

Biology is the fastest-growing field of science today its impact is carried to many fronts medicine and health care; the environment and climate changes; global population and food sources.  Core courses provide the fundamentals of modern biology (e.g., principles of biology, evolution, ecology, cell and molecular biology, genetics) You can earn a bachelor's of science degree with a major in Biomedical Science or Biology, and within these programs you will be able to choose such courses as: pre-med track, human anatomy, neurobiology, biomimicry, microbiology, ecology and evolution, molecular biology, field ecology, genetics, biology of behavior, comparative biomechanics, animal physiology, aquatic biology. Coursework will prepare you for professional schools, such as medical, dental, veterinary and pharmacy. We have several partnerships with local medical, pharmacy and osteopathy programs that can be found on our Partnerships web page. In collaboration with our LeBron James Family Foundation College of Education, our department can also prepare you to teach high school biology. We cross boundaries between traditional disciplines, from the cellular to the ecosystem level, and our Integrated Bioscience and Biomimicry programs underscore our broad approach to the study of biology. Through these programs, our students examine bio-based problems using techniques and ideas drawn from chemistry, engineering, geosciences, computer science and more.
