Biology Major: Overview

Does reading about the search for the causes of cancer or Alzheimer's disease bring a hundred different questions into your mind? Do you find yourself looking at a plant or animal and asking "I wonder what this is?" Do you think about the need to find new and innovative ways to increase global food production, or deal with challenges brought about by climate change?

These are just a sample of the questions challenging those who choose to study biology. If you have questions like these of your own, the Ozarks Biology program may be exactly what you're looking for.

In the Ozarks biology program, you will start out studying the fundamental processes of life, and learn about the natural cycles that keep these processes going. As you advance through our biology program, you will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with faculty members and your fellow students on research projects just as you would at schools many times the size of Ozarks. You can gain hands-on experience designing a research project, and interact with other scientists as a member of the Ozarks Biological Society or the TriBeta honor society. Our biology graduates leave Ozarks with the knowledge and the drive to excel in medical school, graduate school, and in their career!
