Biology Major
This track is well suited for students whose interests lie within more than one field, as they can major in biology and have a minor in discipline such as Chemistry, Psychology, Physical Education, and other minors. This track provides suitable background for students who desire to continue their studies in human or veterinary medicine, or in graduate school (most likely in the area the student focused on for advanced study). Our graduates are prepared with research experience, summer internships, career preparations, and resume building activities such as conference presentation, honor societies, and volunteering activities.
