Welcome to the Department of
Biological Sciences

Biology is one of the most basic fields of science with direct application to humans. Our continued existence on the planet Earth will depend on how we resolve biological problems. Biology ranges in scale from biochemical processes inside individual cells to complex multicellular organisms to populations of organisms to ecosystems to the entire planet.

Majors are offered in Biology (with options in Botany, Microbiology, Zoology, and Science/Biology Teacher Certification) and Clinical Laboratory Science leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. Students intending to pursue medical careers (Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, or Optometry) should choose the Bachelor of Science in Biology. Minors are offered in Zoology, Botany, and Microbiology.
