Bachelor of - Biology

At Whittier College, I learned how biology is connected to every aspect of life and how it can lead me to unlimited opportunities.

My inquisitive mind drew me to study biology, which is constantly changing as groundbreaking discoveries challenge old facts and revolutionize the field. The human body is an amazing, complex, perfect system that we have just scratched the surface of understanding.

Pursuing a liberal arts degree allowed me to discover how biology intertwines with all subjects, from the arts to political science. The more I studied the human body and living organisms, and the more my mind flourished as I connected with the world around us. Like a soul mate, I felt an instant connection with and love for the field.
