学士学位课程要求至少120学分的课程工作，总GPA最低，主GPA最低2.0。但是，取决于主要研究领域，可能需要超过120个学分。生物学是生命科学，包括一系列子学科，例如生态学，植物学，动物学，生理学，解剖学，遗传学，微生物学和分子生物学。生物学家学习生物如何工作，它们如何相互作用以及它们如何进化。他们可能会在显微镜下研究细胞，雨林中的昆虫，影响人类的病毒，温室中的植物或自然栖息地中的动物。分子生物学课程包括在分子水平上的生物学研究，包括生物学上重要的分子（如DNA，RNA和蛋白质）的结构，功能和组成。
The Department of Biology covers the spectrum of biological organization from the molecular world to the ecosystems all around us. The department offers degrees in Biology (undergraduatedegree in biology and graduatedegree in biology), Molecular Biology (undergraduatedegree in molecular biology and graduatedegree in molecular biology) and Biology with a concentration in Environmental Science or in Education for undergraduates and a concentration in Ecology and Evolution, Physiology, or Pedagogy for graduates. The campus community have access to condensed course options that fulfill general education requirements. Beyond the Department offerings, we maintain significant roles in the interdisciplinary, BS/MS in Marine Biology and Coastal Sciences and PhD in Environmental Management. Externally, we participate with other institutions in articulated medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and optometry.
