Bachelor of Science in Biology Education

Program Overview

Southwest Minnesota State University’s Biology Program is broadly based in biology, the supporting sciences and math. Research experiences are embedded into the curriculum so that all students get the opportunity to perform independent research projects. Within the Biology Program, a student may choose from the following three emphasis areas: biology, biology education, and Medical Laboratory Science (MLS). The biology major is designed to prepare students for a variety of careers in medicine, health care, government, industry, and environmental fields.

The Biology Program plays a major role in advising and teaching students in pre-professional programs. Biology majors satisfy the pre-professional requirements for acceptance into medicine, chiropractic, physical therapy, optometry, dentistry, occupational therapy, physician assistant, podiatry, veterinary, pharmacy and osteopathic programs. Biology majors often continue their studies at the graduate level.
