Applied Biology

The Applied Biology Traditional Undergraduate program is designed for students seeking employment immediately following completion of a BS in Biology. Students will acquire a foundational understanding of chemistry and physics, but the coursework focuses primarily on an understanding of biological concepts through a Christian perspective. Coursework includes cellular, organismal, and environmental function and interaction as well as laboratory and field techniques and applications. This degree focuses on coursework specific to the needs of biology students entering the workforce after graduation and should be combined with a minor that supports the student’s career goals. This degree does not offer coursework necessary for biology graduate programs.
