Bachelor of Science with a major in Applied Biology
The Applied Biology major consists of seven courses, two professional certificate programs, and a "Tools" requirement. The "Tools" requirement is a non-biology minor or certificate that provides students with additional skills that are useful to professional biologists.
Two Concentrations
The new major in Applied Biology has two concentrations: Environmental Biology, and Human Biology and Health Sciences.
The two concentrations are designed to meet the needs of employers in Southwest Ohio. For example, professional biologists with training in Environmental Biology are required by regional employers such as Procter & Gamble, the U.S. and Ohio EPAs, Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, and environmental consulting firms. The Human Biology & Health Sciences concentration will make students ready for careers in biomedical sciences for regional employers such as Q Labs, Children’s Hospital Medical Center, MedPace and other regional employers involved in healthcare and biotechnology. This concentration also prepares students to attend professional schools in the health sciences, and prepares them for medical, dental, or pharmacy school.
