KWC offers a B.S. and B.A. degree in Biology and Zoology. KWC also offers a variety of pre-professional programs in health professions including:
We encourage our majors to carry-out research projects... ideally providing the basis for their senior seminar. Students sometimes have the opportunity to spend a (funded) summer at a larger research institution (UK, U of L, etc.), sometimes they work on projects at Owensboro facilities, or work with KWC faculty in completing a project.
