The Bachelor of Science in Biology offers comprehensive training in the biological sciences, with an emphasis on the core technical skills needed for professional or research-based careers in industry, health-care or academia. The goals for undergraduate biology majors describe broad areas of knowledge and skill. They have been identified by the Biological Sciences Faculty as essential for all biology majors to acquire before graduation. This knowledge and associated skills will be acquired through a course structure that guides students through required core courses, flexible breadth requirement courses, and student-centered elective courses in the Department of Biological Sciences. It is critical for students to understand that no single course provides absolute knowledge/skill for a particular goal but instead academic success is achieved through academic integration and retention across all courses in the curriculum.<br><br>The B.S. in Mathematical Sciences provides a strong foundation in the core areas of mathematics and empowers students to apply mathematical and statistical analysis to careers in research and development, medicine, computing, finance and other industries. In the Mathematical Sciences B.S program, students will gain a strong, fundamental understanding of both applied and pure mathematics, which they can apply to a diverse set of concentrated career fields including mathematics, natural sciences, computer science, social sciences or business. The program's objective is to prepare students for graduate studies or successful careers in mathematical science and related fields.
