The Bachelor of Science in biology is recommended to those students desiring to become professional biologists or biology teachers in secondary schools, to enter certain allied-health fields, and to continue their education through entrance into professional schools of medicine or dentistry or advanced graduate study and research at the master’s or doctoral levels. There are two degree plan options through which students can complete their biology BS degree. Option one in general biology allows students to choose elective courses beyond the biology core that prepare them to enter a specific professional field, such as medical, dental, veterinary, or graduate school for further study and research. Students pursuing health professions careers should contact the Health Professions Advisor for assistance in selecting course electives pertinent to their specific career path. Students interested in genomics, environmental biology, or other areas of specialization should contact their biology advisor for assistance with recommended courses. Option two in frensics provides students with the training necessary to pursue exciting careers in biological forensics, DNA testing, or police department laboratories.
