BA/BS in Biology, General

Biology at Pacific Lutheran University is a major and minor in the College of Natural Sciences, available as a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts. It suits students whose interests vary widely, from pre-health paths to conservation, ecology, and teaching. The program gives students flexibility in choosing classes to meet requirements, so they can follow their curiosity while still preparing as broad-based biologists. Laboratory and field experiences are part of the work. Study abroad options let students take upper-division courses in places such as Namibia, Norway, and Trinidad and Tobago. Students describe a broadened view of how biology connects to everyday life. Prospective students can arrange a campus visit through the admission office and speak with faculty about how the major fits their goals.
