Molecular and Cellular Concentration—2009-2010 Roadmap [Degree Requirements]
The molecular and cellular biology concentration prepares students for careers and postgraduate work in molecular or cell biology, especially in the field of health and biomedical sciences. Students who select this program are interested in cells, molecular biology, genetics and processes within organisms. Biology majors may seek employment immediately after graduation in the private, public or non-profit sector, or continue their education in a wide variety of graduate and professional programs.
Organismal Concentration—2009-2010 Roadmap [Degree Requirements]
