BA/BS in Biology, General

The Biology major at Eastern's St. Davids campus provides a broad grounding for graduate study or careers in biology, medicine, veterinary work and nutrition. Students choose among a medical track for pre-professional paths, a field biology track focused on ecology, or a general track built around individual interests. Faculty contact is extensive, with larger lectures confined to the introductory courses and small upper-level, senior research and thesis classes. Students may earn credit through directed research with professors. The program also asks students to consider questions such as climate change, genetics and evolution from a Christian worldview, and it offers laboratory and student research opportunities. Graduates are positioned to enter graduate programs or begin careers directly after finishing. Smaller upper-level sections keep the learning personal and give majors time with their instructors.
