Bachelor of Science in Biology

Biology graduates from MBU perform surgery on cancer patients, lead research teams, and tackle health issues overseas, just to highlight a few possible career paths. As the foundation for several specialty programs including biomedical science, biochemistry, and science education, the biology major is also central to Mary Baldwin’s pre-med and pre-allied health tracks. The program specializes by providing diverse learning environments including renovated labs, the Shenandoah Valley’s larger-than-life classroom, and study abroad options. Students get hands-on experience with equipment and research environments (electron microscopes, cell and tissue culture labs, mammalian vivarium), that are usually reserved for graduate students.
