The Department of Biological Sciences provides courses for both biology majors and non-majors. The core program for the Biological Sciences (BS) major consists of six lecture/laboratory courses which provide a strong foundation in biology. Beyond the core program, students also take courses in chemistry, physics, and mathematical sciences. There are a number of opportunities for learning outside the classroom, including a program of seminars, internships, and opportunities for research with a member of the faculty. Students are encouraged to use their open electives to complete coursework required for graduate or professional programs or to pursue minors in fields that will complement their training in biology.
Biological Sciences (BS) students must also choose a concentration. Concentrations provide focus to your major, adding to the education you receive through the college core, Liberal Studies Program courses, and your major requirements.
