Biology - General Biology Concentration

  • 3 or 4 Year Degree
  • Masters Degree Options
  • On-Campus

As a biology major at Grace College, you’ll explore living organisms and their biological processes, preparing for excellent work in everything from medical research to marine biology.

We study biology with the foundation that God lies at the center of everything we hope to understand. As you peer at molecular life, you’ll learn to appreciate the fingerprint of an omniscient God whose “understanding is beyond measure.” (Ps. 147:5)

You’ll begin with core biology classes and labs, in which you’ll learn the basics of biological structures and processes. Faculty will be present at your labs, ready to aid and answer all your questions, whether you’re completing a dissection or performing polymerase chain reactions.


Then, you’ll dive into your specialized courses. As part of the general biology concentration, you’ll expand your studies to several kinds of biology study, including plant biology, animal biology, microbiology, and developmental biology.

As you dive into God’s Creation through observation, dissection, and physiological measurement, expect even your lectures to be full of case studies and critical thinking activities.

At Grace, we know that a textbook can only take you so far. That’s why we require every student to complete an internship experience. As a biology major, you’ll have a unique internship opportunity in the microbial ecology laboratory at the Lilly Center for Lakes and Streams, a nonprofit research center and division of Grace College. Students of this program have also completed internships at wildlife sanctuaries as well as university, industrial, and medical laboratories.

Once you graduate with a biology degree, you’ll be equipped to further biology research in any setting, fulfilling our responsibility to explore and steward Creation well. You might work as a laboratory technician or animal biologist, or you may work in a postgraduate career, such as becoming a medical technician or scientific researcher.
