The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Biological Sciences educates students broadly in biology.Students explore the structure, function, behavior, and evolution of cells, organisms, populations, and ecosystems. The B.S. in Biological Sciences differs from the B.S. in Zoology because that program places more emphasis on animals. Students studying for a degree in Biological Sciences can opt for a general curriculum (BLS) or can choose to focus in a particular area by selecting one of four areas of concentration listed below. All of these curricula lead to a variety of overlapping post-graduation school and career options; we encourage you to look at the differences in course requirements and select a curriculum that best matches your academic interests. Students in all of these curricula take the same core courses in introductory biology, chemistry, physics, and calculus and must meet the same General Education Requirements. The curricula differ in more advanced course requirements and electives.
