The Department of Biological Sciences offers a major in biology leading to the Bachelor of Science degree. The major is designed for students who plan to enter such professions as biology, biochemistry, science education, medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture, conservation, and industry. Some of our courses may be appropriate for students in other fields of study who desire to acquaint themselves with the phenomena of living organisms. The department offers the Master of Science in biology, and participates in the PhD in Biomedical Sciences through the Quillen College of Medicine. Further information on graduate programs is contained in the Graduate Catalog.
Biology Major
In addition to certain required science and math courses, the standard track in biology requires 36 credits of approved biology courses; a student choosing this major must also complete a minor in a different field of study. An alternative concentration track in biology requires 50 credits of biology courses; a specialized alternative curricula that may be followed for a degree in biology; a biochemistry concentration (does not require an additional minor), and secondary biology education , which requires a minor in secondary education .
