1 Biological Science B.S. The plan in Biological Science leads to the bachelor of science (B.S.) or bachelor of arts (B.A.) degree. This plan is designed to prepare students for advanced study, technical positions in environmental or biomedical research or teaching. The Physiology/Pre-Health sub-plan within the B.S. plan is particularly applicable to students preparing for medical or dental school or other health-related professions. Biological Science B.S. Degree Requirements This degree requires 120 hours and includes 42 hours of University Core. However; some of the Major Requirements courses listed below also satisfy University Core. If other courses are taken to satisfy University Core, the Major Requirements below are still necessary for graduation and substitutions are not accepted.
