Biological sciences form the basis of many new areas of science and technology. They are the foundation of our understanding of a diverse range of subjects – from evolution, genetics and diversity to medicine, drug and human development.

The Division of Genetics offers internationally recognised undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Genetics is at the core of the biological, agricultural, veterinary and medical sciences and has become essential in fields as diverse as virology and epidemiology, biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture.

Genetics is one of the future TOP specialties all around the world. This program offers a unique possibility to study the basics of both Human and Animal Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, Genetics, and other disciplines that will lay the background for a comprehensive understanding of disease pathogenesis.

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three-year undergraduate degree which enables each student to develop his or her own interests in a science subject (science major) and related subjects. Students have the flexibility to combine their major subject with other science subjects, as well as subjects from other disciplines across the University.

Physiologists study the mechanisms by which the body functions, from the molecular and cellular levels through progressive differentiation to tissue, organs, systems and eventually the integrated interactions and control of body functions.

Biotechnology—creating technology or products from cellular and biomolecular processes, often DNA technology—is one of the fastest-growing and innovative scientific sectors. You will learn about the use of biotechnology in areas such as health care, veterinary medicine, agriculture, and the environment.

Genetics is at the forefront of modern biology, driving progress in medicine and synthetic biology. Thanks to recent developments in genetic analysis and manipulation, we are now able to explore the interaction between genes and the environment at an unprecedented level: from developmental processes to the epigenetic effects of the environment in our genome.

The Penn State Harrisburg School of Science, Engineering and Technology is the academic home of the four-year Bachelor of Science Degree Program in Biology. The program draws on faculty expertise in anatomy/embryology, genetics, immunology/microbiology, neuroscience and plant genetics and offers two options in either general biology or genetics/developmental biology.

If you're seeking a career in life and physical sciences, a Biology major provides a sound foundation. The Biology Program grants a Bachelor of Science degree.

From DNA and cells to organisms and ecosystems, students in the biology program gain a broad foundation in the basic biological sciences.

Genetics is the science of heredity and variation in living organisms. Genetics is studied at the DNA/gene/genome level (molecular genetics, biotechnology, genomics and bioinformatics), the level of organisms (classical or Mendelian genetics), and within/among populations of individuals (population and quantitative genetics). One of the most significant scientific accomplishments in history has been the use of genomic technologies to recently identify most human genes, as well as, most genes for a number of other animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria.

Genetics and genomics is a bachelor's program for students seeking to understand how genes shape life, from fundamental cellular functions to population dynamics, and for students preparing to apply genetic and genomic concepts in such areas as medicine, biotechnology, biomedical research, agriculture, journalism, and public policy.

The Biology Program provides a rigorous and solid foundation to the principles of all important areas of modern biology.

The Biology program offers both a B.S. and a B.A. in Biology and a variety of dual degree programs in collaboration with other prestigious institutions.
