The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Biological Sciences program caters to students aiming for healthcare careers (such as dentistry, medicine, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine) or those pursuing allied health fields (including dental hygiene, medical technology, nursing, or physical therapy). The B.A. also suits students wishing to pair biology with another discipline—like business, environmental studies, law, or science writing. BIOL BA students earn 55-57 credits toward the 120 required for graduation, with 23-27 upper-level (3XX/4XX) credits counting toward the University's 45 upper-level credit requirement. Those planning careers as research technicians or advanced science degrees (M.S. or Ph.D.) may prefer the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) track.
