Biology - Integrative Biology

Explore all levels of the biological hierarchy – from microscopic molecules to vast ecosystems – as a student in App State's Integrative Biology degree program, offered by the Department of Biology.

Through the program, you will have the opportunity to gain a broad and integrative understanding of biology, with the flexibility to investigate other complementary disciplines. The program prepares you for diverse careers and graduate programs, including successful admittance to a variety of health care programs.

Your program advisor will help you develop focus areas, or you can pursue suggested themes provided by program faculty. For these focus areas, you may take up to 12 credits in other academic departments, applying concepts learned from other fields – including the physical and social sciences – to issues addressed in the biology curriculum.
