Biology, B.A. at a Glance

The B.A. in Biology is a science degree intended to provide a comprehensive biological background but with flexibility in the curriculum to permit students to take more courses in areas of interest other than biology. This is especially good for students interested in teaching in secondary education (junior high and high school), or whose careers may be other than in an area of biology.
