Biology and Physical Sciences

Biology (B.S.)

Study in the biological sciences responds to the increasing demand for scientific expertise in a variety of professional settings, including industry and law.

The program permits students to build on a common foundation of introductory courses in biology and chemistry. It provides preparation for advanced studies in biology and health-related professional fields, or for entry into a variety of areas within the biotechnology industries.

Upon successful completion of the biology program, students will be able to

  • propose and develop a research thesis topic and interpret primary research;
  • in a professional setting, demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge gained from the major; and
  • demonstrate a breadth of content knowledge in the field of biology.

Students in this major will choose a track in general biology, molecular and cellular biology, or pre-med.

Students in the pre-med track have additional specific requirements which follow. These students will be assisted with MCAT preparation in their junior and/or senior year, if they choose. These students will also have a pre-med primary advisor to ensure that all medical school questions are answered and that proper progress is being made toward completion of the pre-med designated curriculum. The pre-med advisor will also assist students in choosing medical schools and advocating on behalf of students for a selection of medical schools.

Students who wish to prepare for admission to Marymount’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program should choose the molecular and cellular biology track and supplement the track with four additional courses, as noted under that track. See also the Sample Degree Plan.

Minimum Grade Requirements: A minimum grade of C- is required in any course within the major courses (biology, chemistry, and physics) that serve as a prerequisite for a higher-numbered course. Courses in which the minimum grade is not achieved may not be repeated more than once without permission of the Biology and Physical Sciences Department chair.

Pre-Med Admission Requirements: The pre-med track is reserved for students who have and will maintain a high academic standard. The pre-med designation will be available to entering freshmen who have a minimum high school GPA of 3.6. Students who are accepted into Marymount University, but do not initially meet the requirements for entry into the pre-med track can apply for entry any time after completing one semester at Marymount University with a minimum GPA of 3.5.

Pre-Med Degree Planning: A sample degree plan is offered. Students intending to seek admission to medical school immediately following graduation should work closely with an advisor to develop their course schedules, with chemistry, physics, and most biology coursework completed by the senior year. If such a plan is not followed, the student in this track will be advised to take the MCAT after graduation and delay his/her application to medical school for one year.

Pre-Med Minimum Grade Requirements: Students will earn the pre-med designation if they maintain a cumulative Marymount University GPA of 3.5 or higher.

Biology with Secondary-Level Teaching Licensure (B.S. in Biology)

This program of study allows students to complete a baccalaureate degree in biology and also be licensed to teach secondary biology at the end of four years. Students pursuing licensure in this manner complete all requirements necessary for Virginia licensure, including field experiences and student teaching.

Admission Requirements: Students in this program must seek admission to the teacher licensure program and apply for student teaching. See the education section for admission requirements and procedures.

Degree Planning: Students in this program must take courses as specified to ensure fulfillment of state licensure requirements. In addition to working with a biology advisor, students should see an education advisor in the School of Education and Human Services for further assistance in degree planning.

Also, course rotations vary and not every course is available each semester. Course rotations are specified in the Course Descriptions of this catalog. Individual advising is important to ensure meeting all major and teaching licensure requirements.

Minimum Grade Requirements: A minimum grade of C is needed in all professional studies courses required for licensure.

Biochemistry (B.S.)

Biochemistry is the study of biological molecules and chemical processes that make up all living systems, which in turn relates to the study and understanding of whole organisms. To fully interact with known biochemical information and make future contributions to our molecular understanding of life, students must obtain a broad background in biology and a firm foundation in chemistry, mathematics, and physics.

The program prepares students for professional school (medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine) and graduate school in biochemistry, molecular biology, or another biological science discipline. Graduates will find employment opportunities in the research programs of universities or industrial and government laboratories.

Upon successful completion of the biochemistry program, students will be able to

  • comprehend the breadth of current concepts in biochemistry and molecular genetics;
  • read and critically evaluate scientific literature;
  • formulate hypotheses and develop, conduct, and interpret a research plan; and
  • demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge gained.

Minimum Grade Requirements: A minimum grade of C- is required in any course within the major courses (biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics) that serves as a prerequisite for a higher-numbered course. Courses in which the minimum grade is not achieved may not be repeated more than once without permission of the Biology and Physical Sciences Department chair.
