生物学是一门多元化的学科，毕业于生物技术，细胞生物学，自然保护，生态学，生理学，环境科学和健康相关科学等领域，这是UALR的生物学系和美国医学会的医学技术系共同努力的结果UAMS。该课程专为希望在本科学历层次上从事分子生物技术研究事业的学生而设计（此课程不旨在作为医学或专业前课程）。该集中课程将为学生做好基础和应用分子生物技术研究的技术职业的准备，并为从事生物技术基础或应用研究的联邦和州政府机构以及私人或商业企业的职位做好准备。该集中课程分为两个级别：四个学期生物技术学前课程，可入读分子生物技术研究计划（
Biology is a diverse discipline with graduates in fields such as biotechnology, cell biology, conservation, ecology, physiology, environmental sciences, and health-related sciences.This concentration is a joint effort between the biology department at the UALR and the medical technology department of the UAMS. The curriculum is designed for students who want to pursue a research career in molecular biotechnology at the bachelor's level (this program is not intended as a premedical or pre-professional curriculum). This concentration will prepare students for technical occupations in basic and applied molecular biotechnology research and positions with federal and state governmental agencies and private or commercial enterprises that conduct either basic or applied research in biotechnology.The concentration is divided into two levels: a four-semester Pre-Biotechnology Curriculum that leads to admission to the Molecular Biotechnology Research Program (MBRP), which is a joint curriculum between UALR and UAMS. Completion of the Pre-Biotechnology Curriculum and candidacy to the MBRP requires a minimum of 60 hours including BIOL 2401, 2402, 2403, and 3300, eight hours of general chemistry, four hours of organic chemistry, and a minimum GPA of 2.60. Students transferring to UALR who wish to apply to the MBRP may substitute transferring courses for these requirements with the approval of the Molecular Biotechnology Research Committee.
