BS in Molecular and Cellular Biology

Sacred Heart University

The fast-paced world of the molecular and cellular sciences is greatly advancing our understanding of complex processes at all levels of biological organization ranging from the molecular to the ecosystem levels, as well as using cutting-edge techniques to address real-world problems in biomedical, industrial, and ecological settings. At Sacred Heart University, Molecular & Cellular Biology majors will make meaningful contributions to these fields through their participation in research teams of fellow undergraduates and biology faculty. The Molecular & Cellular Biology major is interdisciplinary, combining a rigorous grounding in the foundational principles of biological science at all scales of organization from molecules to ecosystems with significant coursework in cellular and molecular biology. Through Sacred Heart's program, you’ll gain extensive research experience in elective labs and through supervised research with biology faculty or internships with local companies making use of molecular and cellular methods in their business (e.g., pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, breweries, hospitals).
