Bachelor in - Biology

Imagine being the lead scientist among a group of peers as you study the intricacies of living systems. Or going into the field to work alongside a biology professor doing real-world research you'll later present at a national conference.

Biology is a career-versatile major focused on studying life processes and living organisms (human, plant, animal and aquatic).

It is ideal preparation for medical and pre-professional programs, as well as teacher education and graduate school.

Small class sizes, individual attention and faculty mentoring are at the core of BW's biology program. You'll learn by doing. Starting freshman year, you'll have access to labs where you can gain valuable research experience.

Speciality laboratories include anatomy, botany, ecology and field biology, physiology, invertebrate, molecular ecology, genetics, microbiology, neuroscience and development. Also available are labs dedicated to student-faculty research.

Convenient access to bench space and equipment provide you with intense, impressive research experience at the undergraduate level.

Independent research studies, field experiences and internships bridge both theoretical and practical applications. In addition, opportunities to work on research projects can lead to presentations at scholarly conferences and publication.
