Overview

This concentration is offered within the Bachelor of Science in biology program.

Life at the molecular level

Your career starts with understanding the building blocks of life. Prepare for impactful roles in medicine, research or education by exploring the inner workings of cells and molecules. Your focus will go through the investigation of microscopic details that drive human development and disease.

Cell-ebrate your potential

Don't just study science. Use your curiosity to map out a path in medical research, biotechnology or education. Expect to dive deep into genome sequencing, DNA replication and cell signaling. Hands-on discovery happens here because professors open their high-tech labs to you from your very first year.

This degree acts as a powerful launching pad for medical school, graduate research or professional opportunities. Regardless of the path you take, you’ll leave the undergraduate classroom ready to head straight into high-tech labs.
