The Biological Sciences Department is located in the bottom floor of the Administration Building on the Chalon Campus. The department office and office of the chair, Dr. Bruce Yazejian, are located in A-10.

Students in the Department of Biological Sciences may elect to major in one or more of the following options: Biology, Pre-medical, Pre-dental, Pre-Physical Therapy and Teaching.

A molecular biology tract will be offered in each of the emphasis areas under the B.S. degree in Biological Sciences. This tract will increase in depth of knowledge and laboratory experiences throughout all four years of the program. All courses within the B.S. degree programs will address molecular biology but specific classes such as Biological Dynamics, Genetics, Cell and Molecular Biology and Developmental Biology will focus more intensely on molecular level theory and technology.

The options listed above prepare the student to enter medical school, dental school, physical therapy graduate degree programs, clinical and research laboratories, allied health professions, industry, teaching at the elementary or secondary levels and various other science or health-related professions.

Students may earn a B.A. degree or a B.S. degree. For the B.A. degree it is necessary to complete the foreign language requirement.

Grades of "C -" or above must be received in all classes for the major.
