Houston Baptist University has an established history of successful pre-Health Professions programs. The biology program here at HBU emphasizes the biomedical sciences. In addition to pre-medical and pre-dental preparations, the program provides training for work in research labs and teacher education and supports the nursing, pre-pharmacy, pre-optometry, pre-physical therapy, and pre-physician assistant programs. The biology department is especially strong in the areas of microbiology, histology, physiology, genetics, virology, biotechnology, molecular biology, immunology, and cell biology. Because learning through research is an outstanding way to develop scientific minds, all biology majors will participate in undergraduate research in required classes.
