Biologists share a passion for understanding the living world. At N.C State students can elect to pursue a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Biological Sciences or a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Biology. The Bachelor in Science (BS degree) encompass a wide range of areas, and we offer five different ways to meet the requirements for a B.S. in Biological Sciences. Students studying for a degree in Biological Sciences can opt for a general curriculum (BLS) or can choose to focus in a particular area by selecting one of four areas of concentration: Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCD), Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology (IPN), Human Biology (HB), or Ecology, Evolution, and Conservation Biology (EEC). All of our curricula are designed to provide a solid foundation in biology as well as the related fields of chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Upper division course requirements vary among the different curriculum options (see below), but each provides some flexibility to select courses that best fit your interests and career goals. Requirements for a degree in Biological Science are demanding, but they are designed to prepare students for exciting roles in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world.
