For the B.S. in Molecular Biology, a student, with assistance from their academic adviser, will design a program of study with General Science and Molecular Biology courses. Students will acquire fundamental understanding of molecular biological processes, learn laboratory and analytical skills, and develop competency in oral and written communication of scientific results and reviews. Additional courses may be selected to enhance competency in key Emphasis Areas such as Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics, Microbiology, or Preprofessional Health Sciences. Undergraduate research opportunities develop skillsets for graduate school, biotechnology employment or medical research. Flexibility in course selection permits students to fulfill various requirements for postgraduate and professional schools.
The molecular biology program is designed to prepare students for careers in molecular biological research, teaching, and medical or other healthcare professional schools. Students may also progress from a B.S. in Molecular Biology to careers in business, law, public health policy, and genetic counseling.
