The accelerated dual-degree B.S./M.S. in Biology enables students to complete both programs with just 141 credits rather than the standard 160. This path requires 21 graduate-level credits alongside 120 undergraduate credits. Participants must commit to this track before finishing their second year and carefully plan their junior and senior coursework with guidance from academic advisors. The Department of Biological Sciences has been a cornerstone of liberal arts education for more than two millennia. We aim to deliver scientific education within the liberal arts framework for all students while offering specialized training for biology majors. Our program emphasizes both fundamental scientific principles and hands-on applications, equipping graduates for advanced study in graduate or professional programs, or diverse career opportunities in biological, chemical, pharmaceutical, and marine science fields.
