Biology

Program Overview

Accomplished educators guide you as you create your path among the five tracks of our Biology major: General Biology, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Pre-Health, Research Intensive, or Ecology and Conservation. Work closely with faculty in small classes and state-of-the-art labs usually reserved only for graduate students at larger schools. Join graduates succeeding in medical, dental, and pharmacy schools; doctoral programs; and in health sciences careers.

WATCH: Professor Kirsten Hokeness, Ph.D., describes what makes our Biology program stand out.

• Benefit from one-on-one mentoring and guidance from our inspiring expert faculty.
• Start working toward attaining direct patient contact hours required for some post-graduate programs by taking an EMT course as early as freshman year.
• Closely collaborate with a faculty mentor on research that you'll have the opportunity to publish and present at regional and national conferences.
• Participate in 10-week paid summer fellowships and engage with scientists at other area universities and research hospitals on real-world research funded by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and NASA.
• The quality of our Biology program results in a large percentage of graduates going on to top graduate and pre-professional schools. 
• Special agreements guarantee you interviews with Western New England School of Pharmacy and Bryant's Physician Assistant program.

• A strong foundation integrating business, STEM fields and the liberal arts develops critical 21st century skills essential for success and continuous growth in every field.
