Bachelor of Arts - Biology

The Bachelor of Arts in Biology are designed to ready students for a variety of professions in education, biomedical research, careers in business, nonprofit agencies and government, and for graduate programs in science, health professions or medical school.

As scientists learn more and more about the natural world, the field of biology continues to expand. The study of life itself, biology offers its students a world of options in terms of both academic focus and career choice. Some may choose to pursue careers in healthcare, for which a strong biology foundation is essential; others may pursue research and work in higher education; and others still may choose to pursue careers in government, military or agencies that help shape policies and practices that impact and protect life.

The Bachelor of Arts degree offers students greater opportunity to tailor their experience. They have several Biology course options available as they progress toward third and fourth-year study. They may also choose to select a minor in teaching or environmental science to support their career goals.
