Bachelor of Science in Biological Science

Biology is the study of all living things-including microscopic bacteria and viruses, plants and animals, and their relationship to their environments. Biology majors study the structure and function of cells, organ systems and tissues of animals and plants, ecology (the relationship between living things and their environment), animal behavior, geneticsgenomics and evolution. They learn about physiology, behavior, genetics and heredity, aquatic systems, microscopic organisms such as bacteria, and techniques for diverse areas ranging from field research to biotechnology. This major provides a solid foundation of understanding the basic biological sciences. It also offers an opportunity to choose an area of emphasis within life sciences that relates to particular career goals (for example: pre-health biology; cellular, molecular and genetic biology; behavioral biology; microbiology; botany; zoology; ecology; aquatic biology; evolution, genetics and systematics; etc.).

Students need to submit their most-recent transcripts or mark sheets. If a record is not in English, a certified literal English translation must accompany the official transcript. Only transcripts sent directly from the school or stamped and sealed are considered official. Admissions decisions are provisional until we receive your final transcript verifying graduation. In general, students with a 3.0+ GPA (on a 4.0 scale) and a steady or upward trend in grades are admitted to CSU.
