BA/BS in Biology, General

The general sequence in Biological Sciences serves students drawn to many branches of science, among them zoology, ecology, genetics, microbiology, physiology, neurobiology, and immunology. Students can use the school's entomology collection, a large collection of bird and mammal specimens, and a greenhouse holding flowering plants for teaching. The curriculum is a sound basis for health careers like human medicine, dental care, and veterinary practice, though those fields require further professional degrees and licenses. Illinois State University in Normal delivers the major on its campus. Prospective students can tour in person or online, speak with advisers from the department, the honors program, and financial aid, and apply through the university. Contact details for the hosting department appear on the program page, and a request-information form is available for those who want to hear from the university.
