Bachelor's Degree in Biology
The biology bachelor’s program develops in-demand knowledge and skills to put you on track for career success, whether it's graduate, medical, dental, veterinary, physician’s assistant, or physical therapy programs.
Employers in the STEM field are looking for innovators and critically-thinking problem solvers. The biology bachelor’s program encourages students to develop these skills both academically and pragmatically in the classrooms and in the laboratories.
The program delves broadly and deeply into the science of living systems while maintaining the solid foundation in chemical and physical sciences necessary for innovative research and development in the health sciences. Students may have the opportunity to do original research with Stevens faculty in modern cancer research, drug discovery, medicinal chemistry, and antimicrobial research.
Compared to many undergraduate biology programs, the Stevens biology bachelor’s program retains a distinctive institutional focus on quantitative skills by incorporating rigorous mathematics and physical science training. This approach ensures a high degree of comfort with the molecular underpinnings of biological phenomena and well positions our graduates for careers in research and industry that increasingly value these skills.

Kyriakos Chatzis, Biology Student
Dental school is rigorous!
Stevens definitely prepared me for the workload I would face, and I am still using some studying techniques from my classes.
Isabella Biesty, Biology '19
The small class sizes of the department also made me feel like I really connected with the faculty throughout my four years.
They gave me a great support system..
Isabella Biesty, Biology '19
Stevens was in the perfect location for me to be able to shadow a local Hoboken pediatric dentist.
I also ventured into the city for a summer internship at New York Presbyterian's Weill Cornell Medical Center in the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery & Dentistry division.
