Bachelor of Science in Biology in the Philippines
The Bachelor of Science in Biology (BS Biology) is a four-year degree program in the Philippines that deals with the study of living things.
If you have plans of applying to a medical school in order to be a doctor, this is one of the programs that you can use as a stepping stone. Although this is a known pre-med undergraduate program, there are also other career opportunities that you can find in universities, hospitals, laboratories etc as a graduate of BS Biology.
Some of the things that you may learn as a Biology student are the forms and structures of living things; their general characteristics; their origins; the places they live in; and their relationship with man, their environment, and with one another.
Most of the courses you will take in BS Biology have laboratory units. Some of them may include:
- General Biology
- Morphoanatomy (Plant)
- Morphoanatomy (Animal)
- Physiology (Plant)
- Physiology (Animal)
- Systematic Biology (Plant or Animal)
- Developmental Biology (Plant or Animal)
- Genetics
- Ecology
- Microbiology
- Cell and Molecular Biology
- General and Inorganic Chemistry
- Organic Chemistry
- Biochemistry
- General Physics (Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism)
- Modern Physics
- Mathematics
- Trigonometry
- Calculus
- Analytical Geometry
- Statistics
- Entomology (Elective)
- Histology (Elective)
- Immunology (Elective)
- Theoretical Biology (Elective)
- Evolution (Elective)
- Freshwater Biology (Elective)
- Marine Biology (Elective)
- Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (Elective)
- Genetics (Elective)
- Systematics (Elective)
