BA/BS in Biology, General

The Biology major at Edgewood University explores how living systems are structured, how they evolve, and how they interact within ecosystems. It is a Bachelor of Science offered through the College of Arts and Sciences. Students work in laboratory and classroom space on campus, with additional research facilities beside Lake Wingra that support watershed and environmental study. Travel courses pair classroom work with faculty-led trips to places such as the Galapagos Islands and Costa Rica. The degree is flexible enough to lead toward medicine, ecology, agriculture, veterinary work, or laboratory research. The published requirement is 120 credits, and classes are delivered on-campus. Edgewood University is based at its Madison, Wisconsin campus, and applicants can use the program page to request information, schedule a visit, or begin an application.
