With a rigorous curriculum in modern biology, extensive practical experiences with patients, and a focus on whole-person wellness, the Biology Health Science major will prepare you for a broad range of health sciences careers.
You’ll strengthen your Christian worldview and learn to integrate your faith. Choose from concentrations in Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental, Pre-PA, Pre-Optometry, and Pre-Allied Health.
From your first Biology lab to your last, you will be working with Euler Science Complex’s graduate-level equipment. Small labs and class sizes allow students to work both individually and collaboratively with state-of-the-art technology in Euler’s comparative anatomy and microbiology lab, cell biology and molecular genetics lab, cell culture room, and large greenhouse.
You’ll get valuable observations and direct patient care experience as you assist teams at Marion General Hospital, University Nursing Center, Blackford Hospital, and Ball Memorial Hospital. Invitation, an adult diabetes prevention program, has two locations near campus.
