in Biology - Marine Science Concentration provides the opportunity for interested students to obtain a strong educational background in marine biology and other topics in a field that stretches from marine organisms to biotechnology and even oceanography interests from the coastal waters to deep oceans. Additional course work from other departments may be recommended to fulfill particular career objectives. Course work emphasizes skills obtained in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Internships are strongly recommended as part of the program.

This program also prepares the student for admission to medical, dental, veterinary, graduate, and professional schools. Emphasis on lab-oriented courses prepares the student to pursue a career in laboratory research in cell and molecular biology at industrial, medical, academic, and government facilities. in Biology - Cell and Molecular Concentration offers the student a strong background in both biology and chemistry. This program also provides the basic preparation needed for entry into graduate or professional schools, including physical therapy programs. in Biology - Integrative Concentration can be individually tailored to provide the skills that students need to achieve their career goals. The Department of Biology offers six concentrations within the B.S.
