Undergraduate | BA
The Biology Department offers courses in many aspects of biology, from the workings of cells and cellular components to species interactions and ecosystem function. Penn’s curriculum keeps pace with recent developments in molecular biology and the study of evolutionary processes, including proteomics, computational genomics, molecular evolution and epigenetics. Studies in biology can serve as preparation for graduate study in the biological sciences, graduate training in health-related professions, teaching, or employment in a laboratory or conservation-related job.

Biomedical Graduate Studies
Graduate
The administrative home of the eight graduate groups that confer a Ph.D. in the basic biomedical sciences at the University of Pennsylvania.

Biomedical Science
Undergraduate | BAS
Interface the engineering sciences, biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine to advance human health and solve problems in medicine and the biological sciences. The Bachelor of Applied Science degree offers students breadth and flexibility and allows them to combine a technology-based degree with considerable course work in the liberal arts, communications, business or fine arts. It is designed primarily for students whose interests are not oriented toward a professional engineering career. It is a popular degree option for those preparing for careers in medicine, business, and law. Many students who are pursuing dual degree programs opt for this degree.

Biophysics
Undergraduate | BA
Bridging the biological sciences and the physical sciences, Biophysics is concerned with physical and chemical explanations of living processes, especially at the cellular and molecular levels. Detailed molecular descriptions are emerging for genetic elements and for the mechanisms that control their propagation and expression. Biophysical studies include the investigation of protein structure, nucleic acid structure, enzyme mechanisms, the phenomena underlying cellular behavior, excitable phenomena in nerve, muscle and visual cells, and integrative neural phenomena.

Biotechnology
Graduate | MB
The Master of Biotechnology Program prepares students, both full- and part-time, for leadership in the critically important and dynamic industries of biotechnology and pharmaceuticals. Strongly interdisciplinary, this innovative professional master's program draws its faculty and courses from the School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. Penn's world-class biomedical research centers, renowned science departments and position at the hub of the largest pharmaceutical/biotechnology corridor in the United States, place this program at the vanguard of biotechnology education. Four parallel curriculum tracks: 1) molecular biotechnology, 2) biopharmaceutical engineering biotechnology, 3) computational biology/bioinformatics, and 4) biomedical technologies give students flexibility to tailor their degree to their background, interests and current career or career goals.
