There are five different avenues to earning a B.S. in Biological Sciences at NC State. Students studying for a degree in Biological Sciences can opt for a general curriculum (BLS) or can choose to focus in a particular area by selecting one of four areas of concentration: Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology (MCD), Integrative Physiology and Neurobiology (IPN), Human Biology (HB), or Ecology, Evolution and Conservation Biology (EEC).
The EEC curriculum offers students in-depth studies in areas of biology at the level of the organism, populations, communities, and ecosystems. It is designed for students who have an interest in whole organisms and their biodiversity — what causes and maintains it, what environmental changes affect it, and how to protect it in the face of critical challenges in the Anthropocene.
Please visit the program website for additional information.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student.
