The B.S. in Biology is appropriate for students who seek more depth and specialization within biology to prepare them for graduate school and lab and field-based careers in biology. The B.S. in Biology is better suited for students who thrive on the opportunity to take more courses in biology and thus, to pick up lab and field techniques that will prepare them for traditional lab and field-based careers in biology, including graduate research. Students who choose the B.A. Biology or the B.S. Biology program may concentrate some of their courses within a specific sub-discipline of biology. Our department has strength in biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, ecology, evolution and animal behavior.
