The BS degree program provides interested students with a broad approach to biology, but requires a comprehensive background in mathematics and the natural sciences. The BS program is recommended for students planning careers in research or who plan to continue study in graduate school, medical school, dental school or in other graduate health care schools.<br><br>You'll start off in this major by taking the core requirements like genetics and molecular cell biology, but soon enough you'll be moving on to more advanced work in areas like neurobiology and microbiology. Our classes and labs are taught by faculty, not graduate students. There are many opportunities to join faculty research projects, and our major includes all prerequisite courses for medical, dental, or pharmacy degrees. Laboratories are inquiry-based and classes promote a deeper curiosity about life's processes. The small class sizes mean you will develop strong connections with your professors and receive the attention you need to get the most value out of your coursework.
