Overview

Biology is a wide and varied field, ranging from the microscopic scale of molecular genetics all the way to large, interconnected ecosystems. But no matter where you choose to focus your studies, a Bachelor of Science in biology from the University of New Orleans will give you a deeper understanding of the scientific process, the intricacies of research, and the thrill of discovery.

In UNO’s Bachelor of Biological Science program, you will:

Explore core concepts for biological literacy: evolution, biological structure-function relationships, information flow, pathways and transformations of energy and matter, the connections and interactions of living systems, and more.
Learn how to communicate scientific information and research findings to a broad audience.
Examine what goes into the scientific research process and how to critically evaluate scientific literature.
Interpret and accurately communicate data and analyses, and draw biological inferences from raw data.
Generate biological data using scientific techniques and instrumentation, as well as laboratory and field techniques.
Collaborate as part of a laboratory or research group.
Use quantitative reasoning, modeling, and statistics to describe living systems.

By the time you complete a B.S. degree in biology, you’ll be ready to participate in scientific inquiry and research in medical school, graduate or professional school, a full-time career, or anywhere life takes you next.
