除了这些计划之外，生物学系还为有兴趣追求健康前/医学前学习计划的学生提供生物学必修课程。目前与其他机构一起实施了两项加速医疗计划：1）美国纽约州立大学视光学院的七年制双学位BS /验光医生课程，以及2）七年制双学位BS /整骨医生纽约整骨医学学院的医学专业。生物学和化学系还提供生物化学的跨学科专业，从而获得理学学士学位。
The Biology program at New Paltz offers students excellent preparation for graduate school, medical school, or a career in industry or one of the many allied health fields. Our faculty-mentored research opportunities are unparalleled, and our modern, research-quality instrumentation enables students to pursue every interest from molecular signaling and environmental conservation to neurophysiology and animal behavior.Within the Biology curriculum, students may choose one of five tracks, one leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree and four leading to a Bachelor of Science degree:(1) Biology (BA degree track),(2) Cellular Biology (BS degree track),(3) Environmental Biology (BS degree track),(4) Integrative Biology (BS degree track),(5) Organismal Biology (BS degree track).We also offer a minor in Biology.In addition to these programs, the Department of Biology offers the core Biology courses required for students interested in pursuing a Pre-Health/Pre-Medical program of study.
