  • For students interested in healthcare and biotechnology Ìý

Degree Highlights:

  • The right start. ±«°Õ´Ç±ô±ð»å´Ç’s bachelor’s degree programs in biology are designed so you can complete all graduate or professional school prerequisites while you earn your undergraduate degree in the typical four years.
  • Increase your odds of getting into med school.
    • ±«°Õ´Ç±ô±ð»å´Ç’s pre-med concentration in the BS degree program prepares students for the MCAT and offers extensive pre-med advising. The medical school acceptance rate for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ biological sciences undergraduates with GPAs of 3.5 or higher is 75% over the past 10 years.
    • Biology majors accepted into ±«°Õ´Ç±ô±ð»å´Ç’s Bacc2MD pathway program are guaranteed early interviews in ±«°Õ´Ç±ô±ð»å´Ç’s College of Medicine and Life Sciences, provided they fulfill requirements.
  • State-of-the-art facilities. Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is one of the best public, research universities in Ohio and the country. Biology majors work in labs with the latest technology and equipment and also have access to ±«°Õ´Ç±ô±ð»å´Ç’s Health Science Campus, home to the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Medical Center.
  • Study abroad during your junior year in a yearlong exchange program with The University of Salford, Manchester, England. All courses transfer seamlessly.
  • A unique dual degree program. Earn a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in bioinformatics — a field that’s exploded recently — in just 5.5 years. This pipeline program is available to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ biology majors in the Department of Biological Sciences at the end of their second year.
