The Department of Biological Sciences serves students desiring to gain a broad background in biology; botany; environmental sciences or studies; biotechnology; zoology; or wildlife, fisheries, and conservation. This preparation qualifies students for professional work in health professions, teaching, research, industry, or for graduate study.

The Bachelor of Science in Education degree is awarded to students who are planning to become licensed high school science teachers. All programs in biological sciences are planned for students preparing for careers requiring a broad spectrum in biology or a more specialized area within the biological sciences.

All students seeking a baccalaureate degree in the Department of Biological Sciences must demonstrate a basic proficiency in a foreign language. This may be done in one of the following ways:

  1. By completing two years of a single foreign language in high school.
  2. By completing the second semester of an elementary foreign language course at the college level. Students with previous language experience must consult with a faculty member in World Languages for course placement. Students must complete Elementary Language II.
  3. By passing an examination acceptable to the foreign language faculty as proof of proficiency equivalent to successful completion of the second semester of the elementary year of a foreign language at the college level.
