BA/BS in Biology, General

The biology program at Seaver College emphasizes hands-on learning through research, small laboratory sections and teaching from faculty in lectures and labs. Students are encouraged to join the summer undergraduate research program and the biology honors program. Two degree options are offered. The Bachelor of Arts gives more flexibility, suiting students who want to teach science or pair biology with another subject. The Bachelor of Science provides deeper exposure to biological complexity and prepares students for advanced careers in the life sciences. Many graduates continue to professional schools, including medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine. A biology minor is also available. The program is part of Seaver College, Pepperdine's undergraduate college in Malibu, California.
