BIL-BS - Biology (B.S.)

The B.S. degree program in the biological sciences supplements a full curriculum in biology with significant ancillary science and mathematics courses. In addition to preparing students for careers at the bachelor's degree level, this degree program helps prepare students for graduate education in the fields of biology, health, and medicine. A departmental honors program is also available. Students should contact the department for additional information. BIO 111 is the required initial biology course in the program. Students must earn a C or better in BIO 111 to take more advanced biology courses.

Students who have a GPA of less than 2.0 in BIO-prefixed courses required for the major at the end of a semester will be placed on departmental probation.
