Biological Sciences (Biology)

About

Biological Sciences is the study of life. Our majors receive a broad education in the fundamentals of biology from the molecular scale to the global scale. Students take required courses in genetics, cell and molecular biology, evolutionary biology and ecology, and then may choose elective courses in microbiology, botany, zoology, physiology, biotechnology, infectious disease, climate ecology, and cancer biology, to name just a few. Biological Sciences majors also complete courses in general chemistry, organic chemistry, mathematics, physics and statistics.

The Biological Sciences curriculum prepares students for graduate school in a range of biological disciplines, as well as for professional schools in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy and related fields. Many students pursuing a B.S. degree in Biological Sciences find employment immediately upon graduation. To enhance professional development and employment potential, faculty members encourage students to participate in undergraduate research opportunities and/or relevant internships.

Entry Requirements

International Baccalaureate Education System

Virginia Tech encourages prospective students to seek the most challenging high school courses possible. Students taking International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will be considered competitive for freshman admissions. An applicant's entire academic profile will be reviewed holistically.

To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations, an official transcript of examination results should be forward to the Registrar's Office directly from the issuing institution. To determine how many credits you may receive please visit the Registrar's website.

All first-year and transfer students accepting admission to Virginia Tech and seeking college credits for IB examinations must arrange for an official transcript of examination results to be sent to Virginia Tech by the IB Offices once available.

How to Apply

For students entering in 2023, Virginia Tech will exclusively use the Common App for first-year and transfer applications. While we remain a Coalition member, we have paused the Coalition application for one cycle to provide ample time to adjust to the new application platform that Coalition will be using.
