Introduction
Armed with a rich background in the liberal arts and basic sciences, personal research experience, and many hours spent in the laboratory as well as the field, Biology majors at Lenoir-Rhyne have an edge when it comes to postgraduate education and employment. The biology program has high expectations of its students, who are rewarded with the successes that come to those willing to work hard and commit to their education.
Lenoir-Rhyne offers both a Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Biology.
The BS in Biology major acquaints students with information and methods pertinent to a variety of biological areas, as well as selected areas of Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. Some of the courses include study of genetics, cellular biology, ecology, plant anatomy and physiology, and independent research. Its 37-hour major, with 127-28 hours of science technical requirements is a more extensive curriculum than the B.A. option. The B.S. in Biology is the preferred major for students who plan to continue in the field of Biology after graduation. This major prepares qualified students to enter graduate school in the biological sciences as well as medical school, dental school, veterinarian or other professional schools. In addition, biology in conjunction with other academic programs offers a dual-degree program in Pre-Forestry and Pre-Environmental Management.
