Biology
Offered at IU Indianapolis by School of Science.
About
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life through the observation of structure, function, reproduction, growth, origin, evolution, and behavior of living organisms and their relation to their natural environment.
Studying biology provides a background for students to evaluate and understand new discoveries and to make informed decisions in the use of scientific knowledge to benefit all living organisms.
The Bachelor of Science will prepare you for graduate study as well as admission to medical/dental school. The Bachelor of Science generally requires more science hours than the Bachelor of Arts.
The career opportunities are nearly endless for biology majors, especially now, with the rise of the biotechnology industry and the sequencing of the human genome. Our graduates begin careers in gene sequencing; drug testing and development; immunology; agriculture; and in all molecular, cellular, and developmental areas.
