Key Summary

About: The Bachelor of Arts in Biology combines a broad understanding of biological principles with a liberal arts education. You'll explore various topics in biology while developing critical thinking and communication skills.

Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue careers in healthcare, environmental science, education, or research. Additional options may include roles in non-profit organizations or government agencies focused on biology-related issues.

We want you to build a solid foundation of knowledge in the field and develop your ability to "do" biology—to ask questions, propose hypotheses, conduct experiments, analyze data and draw logical conclusions. Through your interactions with faculty and your peers (whether in the classroom, the lab, or the field), you'll acquire the information and skills necessary to succeed in whatever career path you take beyond the undergraduate level.

There are many ways you can gain firsthand experiences that will give you an edge in graduate school, professional school or the workforce. They include assisting professors in research, conducting fieldwork through a May Term Intensive Study program and participating in internships with medical professionals and businesses in the area.
