Because many of the courses required and recommended by med schools and other professional health programs are based in biology, students on these pathways often choose to major in biology.

The Biology Department at Keene State offers a Bachelor of Science in Biology that prepares students for post-baccalaureate study for professions such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or other professional health careers. If you’re considering applying to a professional health school, talk with a Biology advisor or the department chair to plan an undergraduate program to meet your specific needs.
