The Bachelor of Science in Biology (BS Bio) is a 4-year college degree program leading to the training and formation of future Biologists. As mandated by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), the Biology program seeks to develop an in-depth understanding of the basic principles governing the science of life; advance and utilize techniques and procedures relevant to biological research work in the laboratory or field setting; carry out basic mathematical and statistical computations and use appropriate technologies in the analysis of biological data; extend knowledge and critically assess current views and theories in various areas of biological sciences.
The MCC BS Biology program is duly recognized by the government through the CHED. It aims to attain regional, national, and international standards across all areas of Biology and its related fields through education, research, and local and international collaboration. It seeks to empower students with a deep understanding of the fundamental principles, current trends, and emerging innovations in biological sciences such as stem cell biology, biomolecular engineering, synthetic biology, bioenergy, and computational biology.
MCC BS Bio fosters a powerful learning environment that unleashes students’ critical, creative, and innovative thinking by solving biological problems under the mentorship of young, dynamic, well-equipped, internationally educated and research-driven faculty. Thus, the BS Biology program prepares students in making significant contributions to society through a bio-related career anchored on a solid foundation in science and research.
MCC also prides itself with the strong research culture and advocacies in the program. The BS Biology student and faculty researches’ credibility are at par with International Standards, a number of which are presented in International Conferences while some are published in reputable international journals recognized by SCOPUS/THOMSON REUTERS or ISI Web of Science standards. The Biology Student organization is also globally recognized as an official member of UNESCO Club Network thereby initiating programs inclined with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) especially in the field of Climate Change and Biodiversity advocating better lives and better world.
