Bachelor's Degree
The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Biology offers a versatile curriculum designed to equip students for advanced studies in life sciences or to combine with disciplines like law, ethics, history, sociology, computer science, and business administration.
This degree establishes a strong biological background while reducing certain chemistry and math prerequisites found in the B.S. track. B.A. candidates enjoy greater freedom to choose biology courses or other liberal arts electives. Note that unlike the B.S. degree, the B.A. program doesn't meet the prerequisites for medical school applications.
