学士学位课程要求至少120学分的课程工作，总GPA最低，主GPA最低2.0。但是，取决于主要研究领域，可能需要超过120个学分。生物学是生命科学，包括一系列子学科，例如生态学，植物学，动物学，生理学，解剖学，遗传学，微生物学和分子生物学。生物学家学习生物如何工作，它们如何相互作用以及它们如何进化。他们可能会在显微镜下研究细胞，雨林中的昆虫，影响人类的病毒，温室中的植物或自然栖息地中的动物。分子生物学课程包括在分子水平上的生物学研究，包括生物学上重要的分子（如DNA，RNA和蛋白质）的结构，功能和组成。生物
Biology is the science of life and includes an array of sub-disciplines such as ecology, botany, zoology, physiology, anatomy, genetics, microbiology and molecular biology. Biologists learn how living things work, how they interact with one another, and how they evolve. They study cells under a microscope, insects in the rainforest, viruses that affect human beings, plants in a greenhouse, or animals in their natural habitats. The Molecular Biology curriculum approaches biology from a molecular level including the structure, function, and makeup of important molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins. Biologists increase our understanding about the natural world and help address a wide range of critical global issues from environmental sustainability to human health to maintaining viable and abundant food supplies. A BS in Biology or Molecular Biology establishes an excellent foundation for graduate studies, for an array of careers including human biology, ecology, environmental biology, cell and molecular biology, and for applied areas such as health care, forestry, biotechnology, environmental management and conservation, education, public policy, pharmaceutical development and research.
