Introduction
Interested in learning about microbiology, chemistry, and physics? As a biology major, you’ll work hands-on in laboratory experiments and have the opportunity to engage in faculty-mentored research projects. From genetics to ecology, biology courses are designed specifically to help students understand how other fields such as chemistry, physics, and math apply to biology and pre-med.
Enroll in the B.S. in biology program and learn from scientists and other experts in biology, and gain broad backgrounds in science and math. These studies will give you a strong foundation for the medical field. Biology careers range from allopathy and occupational therapy to environmental science.
Go a step further
Complete a concentration in forensic science and learn how to handle crime scenes and evidence.
Biology and pre-med information
As a biology major, you'll take core classes in career preparation, belief and reason, and social justice while learning the biological world. Focus your studies on ecology, evolution, and microbiology, or dive deeper into the world of criminalistics with the forensic science concentration.
- Genetics, molecular biology, anatomy, ecology, evolution, and organic chemistry
- Application of the scientific process to assess new projects and information
- Analyze data, carry out biological lab techniques and develop solutions to biological problems
