Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Biology - Health Professions Concentration] From Stockton University

?Many courses have laboratory and/or field components, and seminar, tutorial or independent project modes of instruction are also utilized.

The program takes advantage of the University's 1,600-acre setting in the New Jersey Pine Barrens close to the Atlantic Ocean. It is an area rich with diverse terrestrial, estuarine and marine habitats. Nearby are the Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge and many other federal, state, county and private wildlife preserves.
