The Department of Biology and Biochemistry provides both Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) programs in Biology as well as Biochemical and Biophysical Sciences.
Those pursuing careers in life sciences—spanning biomedical research, molecular biology, biotechnology, ecology, evolutionary biology, or conservation biology—will find this department's majors ideal. Bachelor's degree holders can explore opportunities in science communication, pharmaceutical sales, lab administration, or K-12 education. University-level teaching typically requires a doctoral degree.
Both biology and biochemical/biophysical sciences majors serve as strong foundations for medical, dental, optometry, or veterinary programs, along with allied health fields. Outstanding undergraduates earning a B.S. in these disciplines become competitive candidates for advanced studies in areas like biochemistry, neuroscience, microbiology, public health, and related biological sciences.
