The Bachelor of Science in Biology is recommended to those students desiring to become professional biologists, biology teachers in secondary schools, to enter certain allied-health fields, and those individuals intending to continue their education through entrance into professional schools of medicine or dentistry, or pursue advanced graduate study and research at the master’s or doctorate level. Five different options have been devised that are tailored to meet individual career goals and all lead to a BS degree in biology: General Biology (Option 1); Genetics and Genomics (Option 2); Environmental Biology (Option 3); Pre-medical, and Pre-dental, and Pre-veterinary Biology
(Option 4).
