Computer skills are recommended. Biochemistry and Biophysics students apply the theory, concepts, and methods of physical science to biological sciences problems. Biology examines biological sciences across departmental lines, with specialization in a number of areas, including marine biology. Botany and Plant Pathology emphasizes a strong background in plant science, and provides opportunities for advanced training in specialized areas. Entomology examines the role of insects in the biosphere, the diversity of insect life, population control and regulation, and recognition characters of main groups.
Microbiology is concerned with the forms and activities of bacteria, yeasts, molds, and viruses.

Geology applies chemistry, physics, mathematics, and biology to study the evolution of the earth, its life forms, and its resources. Environmental science Environmental Science prepares students to become problem-solvers who can apply scientific methods to interdisciplinary questions. Natural Resources is about managing natural resources and understanding the effects of human use.
