Program Offerings

The bachelor’s degree in biology provides students with the intellectual and technical skills to succeed in a multitude of careers (e.g., medicine, forensics, genetics, laboratory sciences, natural resources management, animal biology, plant biology, etc.). Students gain an understanding of living organisms, of how organisms interact with their environment, and of the process of biological investigation. The curriculum provides students with a knowledge base in molecular, cellular, organismal, ecological, and evolutionary biology, as well as allowing emphasis in the cellular, molecular and biomedical area, the ecology, evolution, and behavior area, and the secondary education field.

In addition, we offer master’s degrees (MA, MS) in Biology, and are the home to the only MS Raptor Biology graduate program in the country. We are also proud to offer interdisciplinary Ph.D. programs in Biomolecular Sciences, and Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior. Which brings faculty from across multiple academic departments, research centers, and agencies to provide students with a unique and rewarding graduate program experience.
