Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Total Credits Required: 120
The B.S. in Biology is a 120-credit program covering living systems from cells to organisms. It is designed for pre-med and research-bound students, future science teachers, and dedicated nature nerds.
The program combines a progressive biology sequence with anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and mathematics, with laboratory work threaded throughout. It is the standard foundation for medicine, research, and the health professions.
Together, these requirements are intended to prepare students for research and laboratory roles, and continued study in medicine, health sciences, or the life sciences.
