International Year One - Undergraduate Pathway - Science, Applied Sciences and Technology (2-Semester Pathway) Transfer to Bachelor of Science - Biological Sciences - Plant Biology

International Year One is a supportive program that allows students to earn credits towards their degree while receiving additional academic, cultural and language support customized for international students.

Upon successful completion of the Pathway program and meeting university requirements for undergraduate admission, you may enter your next semester of study at Illinois State University.

Majors selecting this sequence receive broad training in Plant Biology. This sequence is designed for students seeking jobs with industries, the government, and nonprofit organizations that work with plants.

It will also prepare students for graduate studies in Plant Biology. Biology is the science of living matter, involving the study of the structure, evolutionary development, and functions of plants, animals, and microorganisms.

The majority of biologists are engaged in research and development. The biological sciences provide a solid preparation for a career in healthcare, such as medicine, dentistry, and veterinary science, though professional degrees and licenses are also necessary to practice in these fields.
