Biology
Where Faith and Science Meet Your Future in Healthcare.
The BS in Human Biology takes you beyond the textbook, exploring everything from molecular biology and organ systems to global health, bioethics and biotechnology. With a holistic, interdisciplinary approach and greater flexibility than a traditional biology degree, you'll gain the knowledge and real-world experience to tackle today's most pressing issues at the intersection of biology and society.
