Description

The purpose of the Biology Option is:

  • Provide students from other Programs at the University with an understanding of biological processes on which many of the applications of their respective programs of study are based.
  • Provide students from other programs with a general view of biology for them to be able to implement creative initiatives in the course of their future activities.
  • Play a role in students obtaining solid knowledge of Biology through basic theoretic-practical courses offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.
  • Play a role in students’ success in Graduate programs in other areas that require proper training in Biology.

Program Structure

The program may be completed taking at least 17 credits of courses in the Department of Biological Sciences, as follows: One mandatory course and four or five elective courses in Biology.
