Bachelor of Science in Biological and Physical Sciences

The Bachelor of Science degree in Biological and Physical Sciences also centers on a traditional core of courses in the natural sciences, but with a greater credit hour requirements in the Sciences. Through academic counseling and proper course selection, students may choose a curriculum that is uniquely suited to their specific needs in the biological and physical sciences. Students may follow a very specific curriculum or they may elect to pursue a more general science education. Graduates of the program are prepared to continue their education at the graduate level of certain disciplines or to enter a health-related profession such as medicine, dentistry, optometry, or physical therapy. They may also choose to work in environmental and earth sciences or in laboratories.
