Biology explores living systems and life processes. Our planet teems with diverse life forms, making it crucial to grasp fundamental biological mechanisms shared by all species to comprehend our world. Recent years have witnessed significant breakthroughs in decoding vital biological functions, especially at molecular, cellular, and ecological scales. Comprehending living systems partially relies on physics and chemistry principles, so a solid foundation in these physical sciences proves valuable for biological studies. For numerous students, a biology bachelor's degree (B.S.) provides the groundwork for advanced life sciences education. Alumni from the School of Life Sciences have pursued graduate studies leading to academic careers, scientific research positions, and public health roles. Others have entered medical, veterinary, or dental programs. Some graduates immediately transition into high school science education, biotech industries, laboratory research, wildlife conservation, or environmental outreach programs.
Beyond these general outcomes, program concentrations offer specialized goals: Develop qualifications for professional school admissions.
