BSc in Biology - Integrative and Organismal Biology in Bloomington United States | Indiana University Bloomington

Understanding complex biological systems demands knowledge of interactions across various organizational levels. The Integrative and Organismal Biology concentration offers a curriculum focused on whole-organism studies and physiological systems within evolutionary and ecological frameworks. Through a mix of lectures and laboratory work, students can tailor their degree to plant or animal model systems or specialize in biological diversity and organismal interactions. Each pathway develops comprehension of biological processes at physiological, organismal, and ecosystem levels throughout evolutionary history. The program consistently highlights scientific methodology and measurement techniques, cultivating skills applicable to diverse biological pursuits. Graduates with this concentration are prepared for careers in healthcare (such as human or veterinary medicine), wildlife biology, conservation, management, biological research, education, and other dynamic fields centered on whole-organism biology.
