Biology

As a Biology major, you’ll choose from one of three program tracks:

• General Biology
• Pre-Health
• Environmental Biology

Through our focus on specialized tracks, you’ll gain a strong foundation in biology and engage with complex biological issues from multiple perspectives while also customizing your upper-level course selection to fit your career goals. 

You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty on an independent research project or as a research assistant in one of Bryant’s state-of-the-art laboratories. Just a few of Bryant’s research opportunities include:

• Developing antibacterial compounds that hold promise in the fight against drug-resistant bacterial infections.
• Investigating measures to combat vaccine hesitancy through improved health communication strategies.
• Dissecting and mapping neural mechanism in fruit flies to better understand the underlying causes of addiction.

Stand out from the competition by presenting your research at regional and national conferences. This critical experience will serve as a major differentiator as you apply to graduate school or begin your career after graduation.

Bryant’s high-quality Biology program leads to many of our graduates going on to top graduate and pre-professional schools in medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, pharmacy, forensic science, molecular biology, and more. You can begin attaining direct patient contact hours required for post-graduate programs by taking an EMT course as early as your first year. 

Through a special agreement, interested applicants from Bryant are guaranteed an interview with Western New England School of Pharmacy. Additionally, our Physician Assistant Studies program has agreed to reserve two seats in each new cohort for qualified Bryant students. Bryant undergraduates who have applied to the PA program and who meet all published minimum criteria for admission will be extended a one-time offer to interview for a seat in the incoming PA class. Admission to the PA program is contingent upon a successful in-person interview and recommendation for admittance by the PA Admissions Committee.
