Courses

BS in Biology: Concentration in Microbiology
Students may select courses emphasizing general microbiology or medical microbiology. The selection of an appropriate program not only prepares students for careers in research, industry, public health, clinical laboratory, or state or federal service but also provides the basis for graduate study in microbiology.

BS in Biology: Concentration in Marine Science
Undergraduates may elect a general emphasis in marine invertebrate zoology, marine vertebrate zoology, marine botany, marine microbiology, or limnology.

BS in Biology: Concentration in Cell and Molecular Biology
Coursework in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics prepares students for advanced studies in cell and molecular biology. The program is also recommended for pre-medical students because it allows students to take the majority of courses required for admission to medical school in the process of completing this major.

BA in General Biology
General Information and Requirements Candidates entering the bachelor’s programs in Biology should have completed three years of high school mathematics and one year of high school chemistry to allow completion of the curriculum in a timely fashion (see Undergraduate Admission Requirements).
