Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with Emphasis in Chemistry

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree is designed for students who seek a rigorous, cross-disciplinary education in the physical sciences. Additional coursework is taken in the areas of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics, providing the student with a broad scientific foundation suitable for careers in biotechnology, medicine, science-based research, health-related professions, chemical and molecular disciplines and advanced graduate studies.

Students can earn the BS in biological sciences alone, or with one of four emphases: chemistry, computational biology, health and medicine, or research and technology.

Learning Outcomes
Students who complete the bachelor of science in biological sciences will be able to:

  • Integrate biological, chemical, physical and math principles to develop and carry out an independent research project.
  • Communicate current scientific ideas effectively in both oral and written formats to a diverse audience.
  • Think critically and quantitatively assess innovative, global research in a scientific discipline.

Emphasis in Chemistry
The emphasis in chemistry is designed for students who desire to further expand and deepen their knowledge in the field of chemistry. It is particularly well-suited for students who are interested in pharmaceuticals and for those pursuing laboratory positions or graduate studies in areas involving chemical techniques. This track requires additional coursework in mathematics and advanced chemistry courses, and the electives include biology courses that contain a significant chemical component. In addition, students pursuing the chemistry track are expected to develop a senior thesis research topic that has a significant chemical basis.
