BA/BS in Biological and Biomedical Sciences, Other

This degree covers biology at every scale, from genes and cells up to whole ecosystems and evolutionary change. Students sharpen their research, data handling and scientific reasoning while sampling human biology, ecology and ocean science. Students can take the degree on campus or entirely over the internet. Tracks let students focus on a particular interest, such as an Allied Health Profession track drawing on physiology, diet science, medical vocabulary, psychology and health policy, or a track that mixes health and environmental policy with preparation for law school. Students complete a minimum number of credits, with a share at the upper division, and the course catalog lists specific requirements. The online option helps working students and those outside the area, while the in-person option offers direct access to campus laboratories. Advisors and the department contact can help students decide which track suits their ambitions in health, policy or research.
