BS Biology - Integrative - TUG

Gardner-Webb University’s Integrative Biology Program prepares you for service in life science. You’ll study living systems of the world side-by-side with passionate faculty mentors and take part in real-life scenarios, in the classroom and out in the field, with your peers. Our faculty will know your name, as well as your career aspirations, and personally invest in your success. 

Our small class sizes give you the unique opportunity to engage in hands-on undergraduate research and labs from the start. During your program, you’ll master lab and field techniques, from applying the scientific method to natural phenomena and information to using key mathematical and statistical procedures and analyses. We also equip you with lifelong skills you’ll need no matter what career you choose, like strong problem-solving techniques and written and verbal communication abilities.

Program Description Students in the Integrative Biology concentration take 39 credit hours in the major, in addition to prerequisite hours.  Many pursue internships, either through the department or independently.  Some choose a minor in addition to the major.  The Integrative Biology program prepares students for a diversity of biological careers, including veterinary school, wildlife biology, environmental science, paleontology, and healthcare-related careers.
