This interdisciplinary program focuses on the study of living organisms at the bio-molecular or cellular level, and the human manipulation of molecular biological processes. Students explore applications of bio-molecular research in biology, chemistry, anthropology, and physics. The program emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory courses, research opportunities, and internships. The Applied Life Sciences major can include a concentration in Biomedical Sciences, as well as specializations in Biotechnology or Experimental Life Sciences.
