Undergraduate Program Overview

Biology is the science of life and life processes. As such, it encompasses the study of structure, function, growth, development, reproduction, origin, evolution, and distribution of living organisms.

A degree in biology provides students with a variety of career opportunities. Job potentials range from applied or basic laboratory research and field studies in numerous state and federal organizations and industry, to education in public and private school systems. Furthermore, the degree provides the ideal preparation for entry into medical school, dental school, and veterinary school. Finally, a bachelor's degree in biology provides a good foundation for advanced studies at the M.S. or Ph.D. level in biological sciences.
