Biology explores the study of living organisms. Every life form represents an intricate system that interacts with others in multifaceted ways. This field offers solutions to critical human challenges, from combating diseases and enhancing food security to tackling environmental shifts, biodiversity decline, genetic modifications, and advances in medical therapies. Today's world urgently requires committed, creative, and ethically conscious biologists, healthcare professionals, teachers, and informed citizens. In alignment with Gonzaga University's Jesuit values, the Biology Department integrates rigorous academics with social responsibility and holistic personal growth. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Biology delivers comprehensive biological training while requiring less chemistry and physics coursework. This structure accommodates students exploring diverse interests, including education or dual-degree programs in other disciplines.
