Welcome!

Biology is the study of living systems and is typically a fairly broad major. Students in the biology program will explore the basic processes of life from molecules to ecosystems. The B.S. Biology degree provides students with a solid foundation in the biological sciences while still providing them with the flexibility to focus on areas of interest such as botany, microbiology, or cell biology. The B.S. Biology degree can serve as a useful terminal degree or as preparation for graduate or professional schools. It is designed to provide excellent preparation for careers in research or professions in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

  • Describe the cellular basis of living organisms and illustrate the functions of cellular components.
  • Describe the molecular basis of cellular function, including inheritance and genetics.
  • Describe the major differences between different clades of organisms and explain how these differences relate to ecological attributes.
  • Describe the chemical basis of life and the biochemical reactions that make it possible.
  • Describe evolutionary processes and explain how populations change over time.
  • Describe ecological principles and interactions between the biotic and abiotic worlds.
  • Interpret data and use analytical skills to arrive at conclusions.
