With better information and scientific data available, the methods that scientists and theorists use to study biological sciences are evolving. At Webster University, biological sciences majors and minors engage in a rigorous, cross-disciplinary educational program in the physical and biological sciences designed to help them keep pace with that evolution. Coursework in biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics equips students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue careers from science teaching or field studies to biotechnology to medicine. Students in the biological sciences program also have the option to focus their degree with an area of emphasis.
