Bachelor of Art - Biology

Majors in biology obtain a broad and modern education in the biological sciences.

You will integrate concepts from the broad curriculum to solve real-world, biological problems. From investigating genes and cells to studying ecosystems, you will gain a strong foundation in biology that includes practical classroom, laboratory and field experience.

As a biology student, you will have the opportunity to take graduate-level elective courses that are generally not offered at other schools our size.

You will have access to our well-equipped labs for ecology, microbiology, molecular biology, cell culture and physiology; a greenhouse to grow and study plants; and a suite of labs for the growth and study of aquatic organisms.
