BA/BS in Biology, General

The biology major gives students a broad scientific foundation across biological disciplines. Compared with the more specialized science degrees, it allows more flexibility in supporting science courses. Students can add concentrations such as biomedical sciences or data science. This breadth supports a wide range of biology-related careers and further study. The bachelor of science takes four years in person and requires 120 semester credits.
