The Biology Bachelor of Arts program offers students a broad overview of living organisms and their environments. It combines coursework in biological sciences, chemistry, and mathematics to build a solid foundation in understanding biological processes. The program encourages students to explore different areas such as ecology, genetics, and physiology, helping them develop critical thinking skills and scientific literacy. This degree suits those interested in different careers, including healthcare, research, education, or environmental conservation, providing flexibility for students to tailor their academic path.
The program emphasizes hands-on learning through laboratory work and field experiences, which bring theoretical knowledge into real-world settings. It also supports students in developing skills like problem-solving, data analysis, and communication, essential for careers in science and related fields. Throughout their studies, students are encouraged to engage with faculty, participate in research projects, and gain practical experience that enhances their understanding of biological concepts. The curriculum is designed to be accessible and relevant, preparing students for further education or employment in various biological sciences-related areas.
Our coursework is designed for you to gain a well-rounded education, and is ideal for students seeking further education in graduate programs or a career that may involve a significant background in the biological sciences (e.g., working as a laboratory technician in medical, university, or government settings, as well as science journalism and certain legal areas such as environmental and patent law).
The degree does not require the extensive scientific coursework of the BS degree, and students can take more liberal arts courses and easily double major or get one or more minors. To convert to a B.S. degree, only 2–3 additional science courses would be required.
