Biology

Flagler College's Biology Major and Minor give you more than just a solid science background. All of our students have the opportunity to conduct hands-on research by designing, collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting their research findings to the College and local community.

This program is designed to prepare students for a wide range of career paths, such as research, healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, environmental conservation, and government agencies.

Program Requirements

The program begins with a solid foundation in core areas of biology (including genetics, evolution, and ecology), as well as chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Students will then build the rest of their degree from a list of elective courses, allowing them to choose the courses that best prepare them for their career goals. Some examples of elective courses include:

Dolphin Biology
Zoology
Human Nutrition
Forensic Biology
Microbiology

All majors and minors at Flagler College are designed with experiential learning at their core. Biology is no different. We want you to become familiar with the techniques used in each discipline, whether it is a field or lab science. You'll also take a higher-level math course to help you understand how to incorporate data into scientific research.
