Overview Why Study Discover University

Degree Overview

The major in biology leads to either the B.A. or the B.S. degree. The B.S. degree is intended for students interested in graduate study in biological science or the health professions (medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine). In addition to biology requirements, students pursuing a B.S. degree take general chemistry, organic chemistry, and calculus. Students pursuing the B.S. degree are also able to personalize their curriculum with elective courses in one of five tracks: Biological Sciences; Ecology and Environmental Science; Genetics, Genomics, and Evolution; Integrative and Biomedical Sciences; and Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Students are also encouraged to gain practical experience and academic credit through the University.

Important

You may incur additional costs in the course of your education at the University over and above tuition fees in an academic year such as laptops, study materials and additional resources.

Study Reasons

Take small seminar courses with fewer than 15 students and build close relationships with faculty as you learn about their unique research interests, studying life from molecular, cellular, organism, community and global perspectives.
