Bachelor of Science - Biology - Pre-Medical Sciences

The Biology degree program is designed to immerse students in the theories and concepts that drive life, from the molecular forces that govern animal growth and development to the intricate ways environment influences health. The program begins with a two-semester introductory sequence that builds a solid foundation of knowledge in cell and molecular biology and biochemistry. Afterwards, these concepts are used to develop a better understanding of how cells work together to build tissues and organ systems, until they have a deep knowledge of animal physiology.

After completing the introductory sequence, students can choose from a junior- and senior-level coursework that addresses their own specific interests in biology. The program offers expansive instruction in nutrition, food safety, metabolism, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, and animal development. The faculty are trained in a broad variety of disciplines, which means that the college can help students build a Biology degree that is tailored specifically for them.
