Overview

About the program

While the curriculum of the Biology program of Wartburg College is rigorous, students also gain an appreciation of how studying biology can be fun, exciting, and rewarding. The success of the biology program is grounded in its inquiry-based emphasis where students facilitate their learning by experiencing science rather than merely reading about it.

Wartburg’s medical school acceptance rate is extremely high and the college has one of the highest rates of students accepted into the University of Iowa College of Medicine. Graduates applying to dentistry, optometry, podiatry, occupational therapy, nursing, medical technology, and chiropractic medicine programs have had similar acceptance rates.

The Academic Experience

Incredible opportunities are available for both on-campus and off-campus field and lab research experiences in biology.

Hands-on projects are an integral part of the courses throughout your four years.

Most biology majors conduct independent research under the guidance of a faculty member.

A Challenge That’s Rewarding
