The BA in Biology degree is designed for students who will be pursuing a scientific career that does not require physics or calculus, and who may double major in another field of study.

Students can switch to the BS track by taking Physics I and II, and two additional Biology electives.<br><br>For students seeking a career that combines biology with the arts, humanities, or social sciences<br>Provides a broader liberal arts background<br>An opportunity to take more elective courses than the traditional BS degree program<br><br>You will have the opportunity to conduct independent laboratory research in collaboration with highly respected faculty members, often at a level typically reserved for graduate students, utilizing scientific resources one would expect to find at a large research institution. Students who have previously taken advantage of this opportunity have presented the results of their research work at national and international scientific meetings, have authored papers in scientific journals, and have also been the recipients of international fellowships for continued study in the United States and abroad.
