Major Code: BIEC

Under the Bachelor of Science in Biology, there are two emphases: the Environmental Conservation emphasis and the Medical/Molecular emphasis. The four-year program seeks to develop a biologist well founded in either area of emphasis. The student integrates mathematical and physical science concepts into biology. The student uses the scientific method as well as evaluates others’ use of this method of inquiry. He/she writes and presents scientific papers and reports. The degree is augmented with individual research and internships for successful postgraduate and professional careers.
