Bachelor of Science in Biology
General Biology Emphasis
The General Biology Emphasis is a comprehensive degree that encompasses the both the Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Emphasis and the Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Emphasis. Students may also choose advanced courses in Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology.
Degree Requirements for General Biology Emphasis
Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Emphasis
The Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Emphasis focuses on the study of life at the molecular level as well as: cellular morphology and function, genome organization, regulation of genetic expression and how these relate to biomedicine and disease. This emphasis area includes classes in Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology.
Degree Requirements for Cellular, Molecular, and Biomedical Emphasis
Evolution, Ecology and Behavior Emphasis
The Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior Emphasis focuses on the study of life thru understanding ecosystem dynamics, population genetics, conservation, animal behavior, and evolution. This emphasis area includes classes in Anthropology, Biology, Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology.
Degree Requirements for Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior Emphasis
Secondary Education Emphasis
The Secondary Education Emphasis combines the General Biology Emphasis with innovative courses from the IDoTeach Program.
Degree Requirements for Second Education Emphasis
