What Careers Can I Pursue With My Biology Degree?
KCU’s bachelor of science degree in biology fulfills the admission requirements of professional health programs such as medical, pharmacy, physical therapy, and dental schools. Alumni of our biology program are also qualified for a multitude of other postgraduate programs. Additionally, students are eligible for many entry-level scientist positions in the industrial, environmental, and government sectors. Graduates of KCU’s Biology program have gone on to follow their passions to become physicians, optometrists, physical therapists, pharmacists, physician assistants, veterinarians, field biologists, laboratory chemists, marine biologists, high school teachers, and many more!

At KCU, students will be challenged by a well-qualified and diversified faculty. The science faculty view your vocation as an expression of your faith and will strive to provide the student with a unique Christ-centered education. The ultimate desire is for every student to develop spiritually and academically. Students enjoy the smaller student-faculty ratio of 5 / 1 which enhances individual attention and mentoring.

Students who follow the suggested four-year curriculum map should have no difficulty in completing the Bachelor of Science degree in Biology within a four-year time frame.
Nearly 100 percent of KCU biology students who have applied have been accepted to their preferred professional school or graduate program. Occasionally, some students have gained acceptance before completion of the four-year degree.

Lasting Impact

“I don’t think I can fully put into words the impact that KCU had on my life. I received a great education and had a wonderful athletic experience, but I will always be grateful for the relationships I made. Whether it was the lifelong friendships or the mentoring as both a student and employee, the impact of the people from KCU is something I will proudly carry with me wherever I go.”
