生物科学系提供理学学士学位和文学学士学位，重点是中学教育和医学预科。所有生物科学专业的学生都必须参加基础生物学，生物多样性，细胞生物学，进化，遗传学和生态学的基础课程。理学学士课程需要两个学期的高级数学课程，包括微积分I和生物统计学，而文科学士课程则需要大学代数和生物统计学。
The biological sciences department offers bachelor of science and bachelor of arts degrees. Most students pursue a B.S. degree, which prepares students for careers in biology or postgraduate study including medical school, graduate school, and other options. An emphasis area under the B.S. option is available in medical laboratory scientist. Two emphasis areas are also offered under the B.A. option: pre-medicine and secondary education.<br>The biological sciences is a field that encompasses the study of all life and living organisms. Students who are interested in biology have opportunities to pursue a wide range of careers and academic pursuits. Students have the choice of pursuing a bachelor of science (B.S.) or bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree option, with elective coursework in one of three focal areas: 1) cell and molecular biology, 2) ecology, environment and conservation, or 3) health sciences.<br><br>The core curriculum required of all biological sciences majors consists of basic course work in introductory biology, biodiversity, cellular biology, evolution, genetics, and ecology. A variety of advanced courses in focal areas offer greater depth, and preparation for employment or many postgraduate opportunities.
