Many of the world’s most pressing issues – access to health care, Covid-19, drug addiction, global warming, hunger, and more – have biology at their core. Likewise, many of our most fervent hopes for the future – like for innovative treatments to fight devastating diseases such as Alzheimer’s and cancer – also rest in biology.
With a Bachelor of Science in Biology degree from the University of Michigan-Flint, you can tackle these subjects and many more. This degree opens doors to a wide range of professions and additional educational opportunities, and you can tailor your program to your personal interests.
As a biology student, you’ll have the opportunity to conduct research through the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program. UROP allows students at any education level to perform paid or volunteer research with faculty on cutting-edge projects.
