The department of Biological
Sciences offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science degree
in Biology, and the Bachelor of Science degree in Microbiology.
The Bachelor of Science degree
in Biology provides a balanced blend of traditional and modern biology,
incorporating the important generalizations of traditional biology with
the more recent advances. The degree may lead to graduate study
in biology or related fields such as forensic science; entrance into
professional schools in medicine, dentistry, or pharmacy; and
employment in applied or technical aspects of biology including the
biotechnology industry and environmental science
areas.
The Bachelor of Science Degree
in Microbiology offers students preparation for training positions
leading to licensure as registered clinical laboratory scientists, for
graduate studies and for various employment opportunities in the
biotechnology industry, public health, environmental applications, the
pharmaceutical, fermentation, sanitation, and dairy industries, and for
research positions in university/private/clinical laboratories.
Students pursuing a degree in microbiology may qualify for entrance to
medical or dental schools by including appropriate elective courses in
their program.
