Bachelor Degree in Biology
The Science of Success
A bachelor degree in biology can lead you to a variety of careers: from anatomy to zoology, specializations span the alphabet. Your study of biology can emphasize humans, animals, plants or ecosystems. Within each of these areas is a range of concentrations - from chiropractic work to dentistry to anatomy within the study of humans and zoology, marine biology or veterinary studies within the study of animals.
Requirements for a Bachelor Degree in Biology
Most programs will require you to take chemistry and physics classes in addition to biology classes. You will also probably have to meet a minimum GPA standard and fulfill other general education requirements. These outside requirements depend on the school you attend and their specific demands.
All biology programs will have a large number of biology-specific requirements. Most likely, these will include the following:- Evolution. You'll study the slow and steady change of living things over time in your evolution and origin of life classes.
- Microbiology. You'll study micro-organisms like germs and bacteria.
- Cells. You'll study these "basic building blocks of life", and how they combine with other cells to create living organisms.
- Genetics. You'll study heredity and how traits are passed from parents to children in genetics and DNA classes.
- Anatomy. You'll study the body, its structure and systems in anatomy and physiology classes.
- Ecology. You'll study organisms and how they interact with each other and their surroundings in classes on ecology and the environment.
Internships
Many bachelor degree programs in biology encourage students to participate in internships at local bio-tech companies, medical facilities, laboratories, or environmental system.
