biology, environmental studies, genetics, physiology, botany, zoology,
microbiology, cellular biology, developmental biology, molecular
biology, biochemistry, ecology and entomology, to name a few graduate
study specialties. The student has the option of graduating with a
Bachelor of Science degree or with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
What I will learn?
Biology/Environmental Science majors will build a broad base of
knowledge in cell biology, genetics, physiology, ecology, zoology, and
biochemistry. Majors will be able to integrate knowledge from several
biology fields as they specialize in their chosen area. Majors will
communicate effectively, both orally and in writing, about biological
concepts. Majors will demonstrate proficiency in laboratory techniques
and in collection and analysis of data.
