To our knowledge, Florida Tech’s astrobiology degree program is the first and only undergraduate astrobiology program in the country. If you’re interested in the potential for life on other planets, studying the theory of abiogenesis is key.

To understand living organisms, the biologist must understand the cell. Hence, cell biology lies at the core of the biological sciences. Students taking this major gain a solid foundation in biological principles. The major emphasizes how cellular organization and function contribute to the development, maintenance, and reproduction of adult organisms.

Explore the features and activities of cells, genes, and biomolecules – the most fundamental constituents of all living things. Popular research in this growing field includes DNA, RNA, disease, and disease treatment.

The Cell Science and Biology Emphasis is designed for students majoring in public health who plan to apply to advanced degree programs upon completion of their Bachelor of Science degree. This program is designed specifically for students preparing to enter medical, dental or veterinary medical schools.

This program focuses on molecular structures and the processes of cellular life and their roles in the function, reproduction, and development of living organisms.

Biologists have exciting and rewarding careers in medicine, biotechnology, and environmental conservation and management.

Cultivate your curiosity by studying life in all its forms—from individual organisms and their communities to the systems, cells and processes that make up living creatures.

Prepare to work in exciting and emerging scientific fields with the hands-on research experiences and knowledge crucial for success in today's global environment.

Our students thrive in an atmosphere that promotes exploration and collaboration across all areas of research and study.

Biology at Clarkson is something you do while you learn. You gain an understanding, using a hands-on approach, of the core concepts of biology, including health and biomedical science (human and animal), biotechnology & biomolecular science, and environmental science.

The biology major leading to a Bachelor of Science degree is a holistic and flexible option for students interested in medical, veterinary, and dental schools, graduate school, or jobs in a variety of disciplines, including biotechnology, environmental science and sustainability, marine science, zoology, botany, and human biology.

Biologists study the evolution of life, which connects molecules to cells, tissues to systems, and organisms to ecosystems, through the unbroken chain of ancestors to descendants.

The Bachelor of Science in Biology is a multidisciplinary program combining rigorous biology, chemistry, and physics foundations.

The Biology Program provides a rigorous and solid foundation to the principles of all important areas of modern biology.

From DNA and cells to organisms and ecosystems, students in the biology program gain a broad foundation in the basic biological sciences.
