The BS (Biology) program, revised twelve years ago, was first implemented in the first semester of SY 2005-2006 and is in effect up to the present. However, with many changes in the current educational system (i. e. K+12) and rapid growth of knowledge in Biology, the Division of Biological Sciences is proposing to revise the existing BS (Biology) curriculum to update and revitalize the program and make it more relevant to the changing times. The proposed revision introduces two important changes: first is a change in nomenclature of the program and second, a change in structure and content.
The Division is proposing a change in the name of the program from Bachelor of Science (Biology) to Bachelor of Science in Biology. The change highlights the discipline and at the same time adheres to the standard method of identifying the field of specialization in an academic program. This also makes the new name of the program consistent with the nomenclature of other Bachelor of Science programs of UP Visayas
