Biological Sciences, BS

The Biological Sciences major offers a comprehensive exploration of biology, which can be pursued either as broad major in biology (i.e. with no specific concentration area selected) or with the flexibility to pursue one of four concentrations: Genetics, Genomics and Developmental Biology; Ecology and Evolutionary Biology; Molecular and Cellular Biology; or Neurobiology, Physiology & Animal Behavior. Students majoring in Biological Sciences can apply for the Disciplinary Honors Program in Biological Sciences which provides experiential learning opportunities such as independent research, internships, research-based laboratory courses and accompanying seminars.

The Biological Sciences major has modified three-year requirements for pre-dental scholars entering the Marquette University Dental School, pre-PT students entering Marquette University Physical Therapy program, and for students accepted into the early assurance PharmD program at the Medical College of Wisconsin. These students enter their graduate program after three years of study in their Biological Sciences major and can earn a B.S. after the successful completion of the first year of their graduate studies.
