BSc in Biology in Cleveland United States | Case Western Reserve University

The Bachelor of Science in Biology program features a foundational core curriculum with opportunities to focus on specialized fields such as biotechnology, genetic engineering, molecular biology, cellular biology, genetics, immunology, chemical biology, physiology, biophysics, neurobiology, animal behavior, developmental biology, population biology, ecology, and environmental sciences. Many undergraduates across all tracks engage in substantial research projects, which are mandatory for BS Biology students. Qualified advanced biology majors can enroll in graduate-level courses within the department or the School of Medicine with approval.

Designed to train students for careers as laboratory or field researchers, the BS in Biology builds upon the general biological knowledge provided in the BA program while adding two semesters of undergraduate research and supplementary coursework in quantitative methods (including programming, statistics, and data analysis) and physical chemistry. Research opportunities are available both on campus and at affiliated institutions, though the department does not assign students to specific labs. Due to the additional academic and research demands, BS Biology students pursuing double majors, study abroad programs, internships, or extensive extracurricular commitments should plan meticulously with their academic advisor to maintain progress toward graduation.
