Programs of Study: Biology

Welcome to the LCU Biology Degree program!

Our vision is to prepare students for a life of purpose and service in the biological disciplines.

The study of biology, which traces its origins back to the ancient Greeks, is helping students gain a better understanding of the life processes as they relate to all components of the environment.

With the advantage of small classes and individual attention from expert faculty, our science majors gain a solid foundation in the biological sciences. Lubbock Christian University's goal is to give students the tools necessary to meet their vocational and career objectives. Students acquire skills in scientific problem solving by means of laboratory, field and literature research. To achieve these goals, we:

  • use intensive classroom and library work
  • utilize laboratory and hands-on experiences
  • encourage community and volunteer involvement

Students can choose to pursue a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Biology. The Bachelor of Science in Biology degree is more Math and Chemistry intensive to prepare students for entry into Medicine, Dentistry, and graduate programs in biology. The Bachelor of Arts in Biology degree offers more flexibility for students interested in pursuing coursework in other disciplines, such as Psychology, Sociology, English, and more.
