BS Biological Sciences (Genetics)

The degree program is designed to provide our graduates with a sound basis and conceptual understanding of the major theories and disciplines of biology, including foundations of cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology and immunology. This program has the flexibility to enable our students to pursue careers in various areas of research, academia and industry. Several courses related to philosophy, logic and social sciences have been included in this program to build our students’ capacity to excel in a multi-disciplinary world. This program necessitates the students to learn and carry out a meta-analysis in later part of their degree to acquire the ability to critically appraise scientific literature and publish a manuscript. A hands-on research project in their final semester will give the students an opportunity to utilize the acquired lab based skills to conduct research. The mission of this program is to prepare the next generation of leaders in research, academia and industry through a focused, high-quality biological sciences undergraduate program, majoring in Genetics, with an emphasis on research relevant to the needs of our population.
