BYU College of Life Sciences, College of life sciences in Provo, Utah, United States

BYU College of Life Sciences is the hub for biological education, health disciplines, and research at Brigham Young University. Seven departments offer coursework and laboratory facilities in areas such as molecular biology, nutrition science, exercise science, and clinical health fields.

The college was established in 1954 when it separated from the College of Applied Science to create a dedicated unit for life sciences education. This division allowed for specialized growth in biological sciences and health professions.

The college reflects the university's approach to science education by combining academic rigor with values-based learning. Faculty and students often engage in research that has practical applications for health and community welfare.

Visitors can explore the M. L. Bean Life Science Museum, which houses over two million biological specimens and is open to the public. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance and locate the museum entrance on campus before your visit.

The college's Neuroscience Center, formed in 1999, drew its founding faculty from Communication Disorders, Psychology and Family Life as well as Physiology and Developmental Biology. By early 2011 it offered bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees and enrolled about 380 undergraduates and 6 graduate students.
