生物科学理学学士学位为学生提供了生物学各个领域的知识和技能基础，包括生态学，遗传学，分子和细胞生物学，进化，生物多样性和生理学/生物化学。对于那些想要上医学院，兽医学校或从事植物学，动物学，生态学，分子生物学和细胞生物学，生物医学研究，保健，自然资源管理和非营利性的研究生研究和职业的人来说，这个学位是理想的选择。
The Biological Sciences degree program provides a strong foundation in biology, from molecules to ecosystems, including structural and developmental biology, physiology, organismal diversity, and ecology, within an evolutionary framework. Faculty and students work with a diverse array of plant, animal, and microbial organisms and in a wide range of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine habitats. FIU is ideally situated for the study of tropical biology and many of our laboratories specialize in tropical systems. This field of study will prepare students for further graduate and professional studies, as well as for employment in areas that require university-level training in the life sciences. A Biology Education track prepares students for teaching at the secondary level.
