California State University, Fullerton
Biological Science B.S. Concentration in Molecular Biology and Biotechnolgy

Biology is the study of life, its basis and processes. The discipline is dynamic and expanding rapidly. It covers multiple scales, from the study of molecular origins as the basis for understanding how cells are constructed and how they function, including their metabolism, growth, development and reproduction, to the study of organisms as the basis for understanding how populations of organisms interact among themselves and with their environment, including the distribution and abundance of organisms, energy flow among organisms and the cycling of inorganic and organic resources.

This concentration includes the study of genetics, molecular biology, and biotechnology and their applications to medicine, agriculture and the environment (e.g., cancer, infectious diseases, gene therapy, crop improvement, and bioremediation).
