Biology B.S. with an Organismal Biology Emphasis

View degree plan.

This major concentrates on the ecology, phylogeny, and taxonomy of organisms and should be selected by those individuals interested in post-baccalaureate or graduate work in field biology.

Students interested in pre-Veterinary Medicine should consider pursuing the Organismal Biology emphasis. This degree plan will be tailored to meet the requirements of the veterinary medical school you plan to attend.  Your Biology advisor will tailor a degree plan to meet the requirements of that particular professional school.
