Biology is an excellent major to pursue if you have an inquisitive mind, are interested in science and enjoy hard work. Biologists use mathematics and their knowledge of physical and chemical sciences as tools to study living things. They routinely work cooperatively and need to possess good communication skills to present their ideas to others.?
The Department of Biological Sciences offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Biology. The B.A. in Biology is intended for students who have an interest in science, particularly biology, and wish to integrate the sciences more fully into the arts and humanities curriculum.?
The B.A. in Biology has a core set of courses that all majors take. Students select one of four concentrations in the major to focus their studies on particular aspects of the broad field of biology that are interesting to them, or of importance in preparing them for a particular career.
The core courses include two semesters of introductory biology with one lab, three semesters of chemistry with labs, biostatistics, trigonometry and a course in ethics.?
