BA/BS in Biology, General

Biology leads to a Bachelor of Science and teaches the theory and practice of the life sciences inside a liberal arts framework. Graduates prepare for jobs or further study in medicine, veterinary school, teaching, research and government service. Course topics extend from conservation biology to microbiology, and the core includes general biology and general chemistry. Small classes mean faculty know students by name and offer personal mentoring, and summer placements in the field or laboratory are available. The program aims to build scientific literacy, ethical analysis and communication skills, along with experience in scientific inquiry. Students can also find information about teacher certification and connections with the Pennsylvania Academy of Science. Wilson College is a private institution in Pennsylvania, and prospective students can request information, arrange a visit or begin an application through the admissions team.
