Biology

Welcome to the Biology department, our hub for the life and health sciences degree programs. Our courses provide students with a deep appreciation and understanding of the study of life and living organisms.

The Biology department supports a variety of other academic majors by providing courses that qualify as Liberal Arts electives, many of which also fulfill the General Education Natural Science Core curriculum.

The department significantly supports a bachelor of science degree in Bioscience which is quite popular.

Students who previously earned a bachelor's degree in a non-science field, have a unique opportunity to enroll in the department's Science for the Health Professions Certificate. This certificate is designed for the individual who seeks a career change into the health professions, but lacks some or all of the necessary science and mathematics background. Completion of the certificate provides academically qualified students to seek entry into a health professional school of medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, veterinary, chiropractic, pharmacy, optometry, podiatry, and physical therapy.
