Build a Strong Foundation

Start your journey studying the life sciences. Learn and examine systems in chemistry, genetics, human anatomy, and more. Spend three years earning your Bachelor of Science in Biology at NGU, then complete your doctorate at Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBAU) in West Palm Beach, Florida. After your first year at the PBAU, you’ll complete your Bachelor of Science in Biology and apply for graduation as you continue your doctoral studies.

This dual degree fast-tracks your academic journey and lets you complete both degrees in 7 years.
