Bachelor of Science in Biology - (Pharmacology/Toxicology)

STEM-classified degree: graduates are eligible for 3 years of Optional Practical Training (OPT) in the USA. This degree offers a small-college experience – with its close personal relationships – on ASU’s beautiful West Valley campus, plus the cutting-edge facilities and faculty of a top-tier research university. The pharmacology and toxicology concentration of the BS program in biology provides an emphasis in the biochemical, molecular and physiological components of chemical and body interactions.The degree program emphasizes experiential learning, and all required core courses have laboratories. By learning in an integrative environment that emphasizes the connectedness of the disciplines, students gain a better understanding of larger scientific concepts and they can view these concepts from multiple perspectives. To have a thorough understanding of the interactions of chemicals in the biological system, students study both biology and chemistry and become familiar with chemical interactions at physiological, molecular and cellular levels.Undergraduates have the opportunity to conduct independent research under the mentorship of faculty members or in internships outside the school.
