Biology

Degree Focus

From bacteria to blue whales, it’s easy to marvel at the vast diversity of living organisms across the planet. Students of biology study living organisms and their interactions with the environment—from molecular to environmental—genetics to zoology. There are a variety of concentrations and specializations available, enabling graduates to pursue careers in a wide range of industries, including agriculture, education, healthcare, research and the environment.

Additional Degrees & Concentrations

(BS) - Genetics is the study of how traits are inherited, evolve and change. This degree program is primarily focused on the structure, function and transmission of genes.
(Concentration) - Biophysics is the study of how biological processes are impacted by the natural laws of physics. Students can expect to study the quantitative sciences of physics, math and chemistry to better understand living organisms-- ranging from how parts of a cell move and function, to how plant cells capture light and transform into energy, to how complex human system such as the brain, nerves and immune system function.
(Concentration) - A botany concentration focuses on the scientific study of plants, algae and fungi – their physiology, habitats and interactions with other organisms. Coursework may include plant anatomy, evolution, taxonomy and systematics.
(Concentration) - The field of bioinformatics and computational biology is centered on digital data management, processing and extrapolation of biological and ecological systems' data. Students will learn how to develop and use computer programming, simulation and mathematical modeling in order to process, share, analyze and apply biological and ecological systems data.
