Bachelor of Arts - Biology (Co-op)

The Bachelor of Arts in Biology program provides students a strong background in biology so they may enter the work force, pursue additional education after graduation, or strengthen other programs of study. In addition, students who graduate from this program will have the critical thinking, analytic and writing skills employers seek.
