UAH's Biological Sciences Department provides a forward-looking, comprehensive curricula that meet the highest national standards.

We expect our graduates to contribute to solving the many challenges of the future as a result of their educational and research experiences.

Biological Sciences, BS

A degree in Biology prepares you for hands-on, physical research work. This degree is extremely versatile and electives can be chosen to emphasize desired specializations, such as attending graduate school to study biology, experiment with materials as a research scientist or biochemist, or advance to a medical, dental, or veterinary program.

 

Biological Sciences, BS - Biochemistry Concentration

The optional biochemistry concentration provides students with a strong background in both the fundamental aspects of modern biochemistry and in the quantitative physical sciences.

 

Biological Sciences, BS - Ecology & Evolution Concentration

Unravel the mysteries of how animals, plants, and microbes function, how they interact, and how they evolve in a changing world. The optional ecology and evolution concentration is unique in its broad and interdisciplinary approach.

 

Biological Sciences, BS - Pre-Professional Health Careers Concentration

Interested in pursuing a career in medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine or another health profession? This optional concentration enables students to complete the rigorous pre-health prerequisites.
