As A Biological Science

The Department offers three concentrations within the Biology major: The Cell and Molecular Biology Concentration—Students who are interested in pursuing professional education in medicine, pharmacy, optometry, dentistry, or other health sciences should choose this concentration which was designed to include the broadest range of entrance requirements for area professional schools. The Environmental Biology Concentration—offers students a choice of three emphasis areas such as Aquatic Biology, Environmental Botany, and Environmental Zoology. Participants in the Environmental Biology concentration train in diversity studies, as well as field methods for ecological analysis to prepare for careers as field biologists with government agencies and industry or to prepare for graduate studies in field biology. The Organismal Biology Concentration is designed for students interested in studying the diversity of life from bacteria to the most complex multicellular plants and animals and is specifically for people interested in a well-rounded, general biology program of education.

The faculty members of this department serve as academic advisors in most health science areas. The program for the biology major leads to the Bachelor of Science degree. A minor in biology is also available.

About The Department of Biology

The Department of Biology conducts teaching and research across most biological disciplines. Our emphasis ranges in scale from the biochemical reactions that take place within cells to the ecological interactions of animals and plants with their environments. We teach a broad range of biological papers for two undergraduate and several graduate degrees. Postgraduate students conduct supervised research to doctoral level.
