Bachelor of Science in Biology

University of San Francisco

Do hands-on training that prepares you for careers and graduate programs in field and laboratory biology, biotechnology, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and public health. You get a mix of lecture, laboratory, and field courses. And you have a chance to work with faculty on research projects. Explore virology, cancer biology, botany, marine mammal physiology, animal behavior, herpetology, and other fields of study through faculty labs and field research in the Bay Area’s rich ecosystems. Periodically students also take special research trips to Alaska, Antarctica, and even the Galapagos Islands. Through the Partnership for Undergraduate Mentoring and Teaching program, you can apply for research spots at UC San Francisco or assist UCSF graduate and post-doc adjunct professors on cutting-edge biomedical research.USF biology prepares you for a broad spectrum of careers in the life sciences, including completion of all requirements for admission to professional schools (e.g., medical, dental, pharmacy and veterinary schools) and graduate programs.
