Biology

A biology major opens doors to a variety of fields. You develop robust critical thinking and analytical skills which provide the foundation for further study towards careers in academia and research as well as medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, chiropractic medicine and other professional fields. Our graduates have selected careers in forensic science, biotechnology and education.

Our Genomics Research Initiative offers first year students with no prior research experience the opportunity to conduct scientific experiments in a laboratory setting while also collaborating with, and contributing to, a national alliance that sources data from multiple laboratories across the United States. You will be taught by a diverse faculty of professionals from four countries and three continents, all of whom hold or are completing terminal degrees in the field. Our facilities have updated equipment to train biologists for the 21st century. If medical school is your next step, we have partnership agreements with American University of Antigua College of Medicine and Kansas City University College of Osteopathic Medicine.
