BA/BS in Biological and Physical Sciences

The Interdisciplinary Science major creates a four-year plan from a core of biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics. It was designed with Arcadia's combined optometry and engineering programs in mind. It also serves students planning careers or graduate study in areas such as biochemistry, pharmacology, nutrition or immunology, and those preparing for dentistry, medicine, osteopathic or veterinary medicine and similar health fields. Majors seeking secondary certification in general science should tell their advisers and the secondary education director early, because state rules are specific. Study abroad is encouraged, and the program page offers more detail on the general science certification route, related options and typical outcomes for graduates. Prospective students can apply or request more information through the program page, and the undergraduate admissions pages explain how to enroll, schedule a visit, and learn about tuition and financial aid options.
