Overview

Biologists are the bold thinkers and problem-solvers who ask life’s biggest questions. From decoding DNA to protecting the planet, biology powers some of the most exciting breakthroughs in medicine, environmental science, and technology. It’s not just the study of life — it’s the key to shaping the future.

At UB, many students pair their Biology programme at University of Bridgeport with a minor in Education, creating a smooth pathway to a Master of Science (MS) in Secondary Education.

This combination prepares you to earn certification to teach Biology in grades 4-12. With hands-on classroom practicum experiences and customizable electives, you’ll graduate confident, qualified, and ready to inspire the next generation of scientists.
