EMU, BS, Biology

The Bachelor of Science in Biology provides a foundation in the principles important to all living things and builds on this foundation toward many opportunities to gain cutting-edge skills while closely interacting with faculty and fellow students. Learn Students in the biology major learn the science of life, from molecules to ecosystems, through an in-depth exploration of the biological sciences via classroom, field, and research laboratory experiences. Students learn to critically evaluate information for a life of continued learning and informed participation in society. In addition to being readied for careers in the life sciences, conservation, and education, students are prepared for biology graduate programs and professional programs in the medical and veterinary fields. Opportunities Opportunities include small class sizes in upper level courses, summer courses at Kresge Environmental Education Center at Fish Lake, off-campus/international courses (Florida, Bahamas, Ecuador), research experiences with faculty mentors, Departmental Honors in Biology, leadership positions in student organizations (BBB, Pre-med Club, etc.), and Biology Department scholarships.
