Overview

Within the Biology programme at Simpson University, students have the option to specialize in pre-health sciences which allows for additional classes needed to prepare for medical, dental or pharmacy school as well as other careers in the allied health industry. With a graduate placement rate of nearly 100%, many of our graduates have gone onto such careers or have pursued graduate and/or professional education programmes.

Simpson University's Biology major features small class and lab sizes, so students can get one-on-one attention from faculty members. Selected students also have the opportunity to do summer research projects with the science faculty.

Students will be able to employ and apply appropriate laboratory techniques to obtain data.

Students will demonstrate proficiency in applying the scientific method and creating a mock grant proposal.

Students will be able to read reviews of primary scientific literature and effectively present their findings.
