Overview

Within the Biology program 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 programs.

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.
