The Bachelor of Science in biology with cosmetic science specialization is designed for a diverse group of students from future cosmetic laboratory technicians to students interested in medical or pharmacy school. The degree is also suitable for students entering directly into the work force after graduation with numerous opportunities in the cosmetic industry from sales to research and development. The degree will give students a strong background in human anatomy, physiology, microbiology, human diseases, and biological principles of cosmetic science. Students will develop scientific research skills that enable them to objectively apply these abilities to the discipline and their community.
