Bachelor of Science - Biology

Students will be challenged with hands-on learning experiences and many opportunities to do real science, both in their classes and in federally funded research laboratories. Every biology major completes a yearlong research project. Many students present this work at local undergraduate meetings and even international scientific conferences.

At NEC, students will have opportunities for professional internships, biology-related travel courses, earning credits for getting certified as a biology teacher, and employment in our Summer Undergraduate Research Program. The program will help them attain their career goals, whether that be graduate school or employment in such places as educational institutions, federal agencies, pharmaceutical companies, and private industry.
