Life University’s Bachelor of Science in Biology curriculum is grounded in a philosophy that is deeply respectful of the innate intelligence of life – the ability of all organisms to be conscious, self-developing, self-maintaining and self-healing. This means that you’ll not only develop a solid knowledge-base in the foundations of biology, but you’ll also cultivate a sense of respect and responsibility for our human role in understanding and influencing both our own living bodies and our place in the world.
Life University works closely with our biology students to help them pursue their interests in advanced educational endeavors or STEM career pathways.
Learning Environment
Life University’s unparalleled approach to natural sciences and natural health make it a magnet for high-achieving students with a deep commitment to helping others. As a biology major at Life University, you’ll find that most students outside your program – from Chiropractic, exercise science, and nutrition and dietetics students to psychology, biopsychology and even business majors – share your passion and fascination with living systems and with helping those systems to achieve optimum performance and potential.
Thanks to our shared values and collaborative campus atmosphere, you’ll have frequent opportunities to team up with faculty and students in other programs to explore independent, interdisciplinary study and research. Such opportunities are an integral part of a comprehensive Life University biology education as they will help you to clarify and prepare for future career goals in such diverse pursuits as chiropractic or medical school, dentistry, physical or occupational therapy and other allied health fields, as well as tracks in education, research, business and other industries.
