BA/BS in Biology, General

This undergraduate degree is a starting point for life science careers. Across four years, students study how living systems work, drawing on chemistry, physiology, ecology, plants, microbes and cells at the molecular level. The wide grounding also suits students planning to apply later to schools of medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine or physical therapy. The department posts a degree plan and a rotation of upcoming courses, and it describes research opportunities and other program features for undergraduates, so students can see how the major is organized from the first year onward. The university looks at grades, preparation and test results when deciding on admission. An offer stays usable for four terms unless the student enrolls elsewhere first. Separate instructions cover first-year, transfer and international applicants, and the admissions office in Denton handles questions.
