Biology, B.A.
The Biology, B.A. program provides an excellent opportunity for students to explore a diverse range of fields while still focusing on the fascinating subject of biology. This degree offers flexibility and allows students to gain a deeper understanding of biological concepts without the added emphasis on chemistry, math, and physics.
Students who are interested in pre-health fields should carefully consider whether or not this degree will meet all of the requirements for graduate studies and graduate entrance exams before declaring this major.
Biology, B.S.
This program requires students to take a broad survey of upper and lower-level biology courses in molecular, ecological, animal, and plant areas of study. Students gain hands-on experience and specialize in the topics that interest them most, preparing them for exciting careers in applied biology, biological research, or teaching, as well as for further study in graduate or professional schools.
Students in this program often choose to pursue a minor in Chemistry. This degree requires more cognate chemistry, physics, and math courses than the Biology, B.A. program, but less than the Biotechnology, B.S. program.
Biology, B.S. is the most popular undergraduate major in the Department of Biology.
Biology, B.S. - Pre-Medicine
This concentration is designed for students who aspire to apply to professional programs such as medicine, dentistry, physician鈥檚 assistant, veterinary science, and pharmacy. Our rigorous curriculum prepares students with a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, physics, and math that is necessary for success in these professional fields. By selecting courses in molecular, ecological, animal, and plant areas of study, students can specialize in the fields of biology that interest them most. In addition, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience through research and internships.
