The biology department provides both Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degree programs. The B.S. track, chosen by most students, equips graduates for professional roles in biology or advanced studies like medical school, graduate programs, and related fields. Within the B.S. program, students can specialize in medical laboratory science. The B.A. program offers two concentrations: pre-medicine and secondary education.
Biological sciences explore all aspects of life and living organisms. Those passionate about biology can access diverse career paths and academic opportunities. Learners may select between B.S. or B.A. degree paths, each featuring specialized coursework in three key disciplines: 1) cellular and molecular biology, 2) environmental ecology and conservation, or 3) health sciences.
All biology majors complete foundational courses covering introductory biology, biodiversity, cell biology, evolutionary principles, genetics, and ecological studies. Specialized upper-level classes in focus areas allow for deeper exploration, preparing students for professional work or various postgraduate pathways.

Qualification Requirements
Admission is selective and based on a combination of secondary school core curriculum (a set of required secondary school classes), ACT and/or SAT composite scores (if available), grade point average (GPA), and class rank percentile. (For non-ranking schools, GPA will be used to evaluate your application).
International students must fulfill the same admission requirements as domestic applicants, but standardized test scores (ACT or SAT) are not required but should be submitted if available. Meeting the minimum requirements, however, does not guarantee admission, nor does it guarantee admission to a particular program. Missouri S&T appreciates well-rounded students and evaluates each application individually.
Missouri S&T may request that you provide an official transcript evaluation from the World Education Services (WES). If this is required, it will be visible on your application checklist after submission of your application, or an admissions representative will contact you to request it.
Minimum English proficiency test score requirements are 80 for TOEFL, 6.5 for IELTS, 58 for PTE, or 105 for Duolingo (Starting in Spring 2024, the Duolingo requirement will be 115). We also accept SAT ERW score minimum of 500.
