BA/BS in Biology, General

Biology students investigate the workings of living organisms and the ties between them and their environment, including how species interact and adapt. This bachelor's degree is offered through the university's liberal arts and sciences college and gives a rigorous grounding for a demanding scientific field. Majors meet topics including microbes, immune function, heredity, plant life, cellular mechanisms, and ecosystems. Laboratory and classroom work are combined so that learners practise scientific reasoning and handle research methods firsthand. Graduates move on to medical, dental, and other health professional schools, enter graduate research programs, or take positions in laboratories, industry, education, and government. Faculty guide students toward research experiences and help them choose electives that match their intended careers, whether in health care, biotechnology, or environmental work.
