Biology Pre-Professional Programs

Felician University

Program Outcomes

Upon successful completion of their Felician coursework, students will be able to demonstrate competence in scientific reasoning and quantitative analysis, critical thinking, and written communication, as well as proficiency in the application of fundamental principles and laboratory methods in biology and chemistry. Students will also demonstrate an understanding of the ethical challenges and responsibilities of applying scientific knowledge, the relationship of Franciscan values to professional practice, and the potential contributions of science-related professions to human welfare and sustainability.

Curriculum

In most of the pre-professional programs, students take three years of required courses at Felician, with their first year of graduate courses counting towards their fourth year of the Bachelor of Science. The exception is Occupational Therapy, which requires a four-year sequence of courses at Felician. An additional 2-3 years at the professional school is necessary for the graduate degree (duration depending on whether a Master’s or Doctorate is needed).
