The Biology program at LMU is a comprehensive four-year program with three tracks that lead to a Bachelor of Science degree. Biology students are immersed in a broad variety of life science and chemistry courses. Students in the Secondary Teacher Education Licensure Program graduate prepared to serve their communities as middle school and/or high school teachers. Students in the Pre-Health Track graduate well-prepared to enter professional and graduate programs in the health professions and beyond. Biology students engage numerous topics including Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, and Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy. The rigorous and flexible curricula allow our students to fulfill their career goals. Many of our biology graduates have gone on to become medical professionals, teachers, and researchers.
