Overview
We offer a bachelor degree in Biology at the Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis. Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life through the observation of structure, function, reproduction, growth, origin, evolution, and behavior of living organisms and their relation to their natural environment.
Geneticists, molecular biologists, and physiologists have provided valuable insight into how cells and systems function. Biologists help improve human life in many ways, including the discovery of antibiotics and other medicines, a better understanding of the cellular processes leading to cancer, and the development of new crops. Studying biology provides a background for students to evaluate and understand new discoveries and to make informed decisions in the use of scientific knowledge to benefit all living organisms.
