Biology, B.S. - Molecular Biology/Biotechnology Option
Designed to prepare students both for careers in the fast-growing industry associated with molecular biology and for admission into graduate and professional schools, this program allows students to concentrate in molecular and cellular biology while obtaining a broad background in biology and in the liberal arts. Students in this program complete advanced courses in biochemistry and in molecular and cellular techniques; many take advantage of opportunities to complete independent research projects in genetics, developmental biology, virology, cell and molecular biology, or endocrinology.
