Bachelor of Science in Biological Science

Colorado State University

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, genetics/genomics 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.).
