The BS in Biology provides a core foundation to understand the living world and its complex functions. We focus on the integration of faith and science by studying the symbiotic relationship between humans, animals, plants, and the natural world. This degree requires foundational courses in preparation for graduate study and scientific careers in education, museums, public policy, nonprofit ventures, pre-medicine (dental, medical, veterinary), scientific technology, food sciences, wildlife ecology, marine biology, genetics, healthcare, laboratory technology (assistant, technician or research assistant), forensics, and agriculture.
Objectives:
Upon completion, students should be able to:
- Acquire an appropriate knowledge base in biology and supporting disciplines.

- Recognize how scientific methods have advanced our understanding of biological principles.
- Demonstrate proficiency in laboratory techniques, experiments, and technology to investigate various problems and questions in biology.
- Integrate Christian principles in critical thinking, ethics, and decision making.
