About

Biology is the science that studies life. Fields range from cell biology and genetics to evolution, plant science, and ecology. Careers are applied, using biological knowledge to address problems in society and industry, while others are focused on research, advancing knowledge to produce new solutions. The B.A. in Biology exposes the student to major subject areas in biology while providing considerable flexibility for each student. This degree is suitable for students who may apply for admission into law school or for those who seek employment in business, environmental studies, or industry; however, the B.A. degree will not automatically fulfill requirements for entrance into medical, dental, optometry, medical technology, other allied health programs, or most graduate school programs. Students desiring eventual admission into a professional program or laboratory-related fields should follow the B.S. in Biology degree program.
