Biological Sciences, BS - Biochemistry Concentration
The optional biochemistry concentration provides students with a strong background in both the fundamental aspects of modern biochemistry and 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. UAH's 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 ensures students will complete the rigorous prerequisites necessary for professional school applications.
