The biology department provides life science courses focused on imparting fundamental biological concepts and principles through hands-on laboratory work. This program establishes a solid foundation for careers in biology, biotechnology, healthcare professions (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine), allied health fields, teaching, and general science education. High-achieving Biology and Allied Health students may qualify for the Roosevelt Honors Program, the university's prestigious honors track. Refer to the Allied Health program for clinical degree options in specialized areas like Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Histotechnology, Medical Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, Radiography, and Radiation Therapy Technology. The Biology BA degree caters to students seeking a humanities-focused biological education with fewer science and math requirements than the BS program. This flexible option enables students to pursue double majors or minors, though it may not fulfill all prerequisites for graduate or professional programs. Prospective students should consult with a science advisor to select the most suitable biology degree path.

Qualification Requirements
A freshman applicant is defined as an individual who has completed or will complete a high school degree or its equivalent and has fewer than 12 transferrable college credit hours. The admission requirements for freshman applicants are as follows:
Complete the online application.
Roosevelt requires applicants to attain a cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 for at least 3 years of study. Students with a GPA just below 2.0 may be still considered for admission on a case-by-case basis. Self-reported information is accepted for most programs but an official transcript will be required if you are admitted to Roosevelt University.
If you took dual enrollment classes at your local community college as part of your high school diploma, you will need to submit transcripts from your community college in addition to your high school transcripts.
Roosevelt is test-optional. If you have taken the ACT or SAT we encourage you to send your scores, though these are not required for admission.
