Laurea in Biologia

Students choose a minimum of 33 hours in Biology (including 17 upper-level hours) in addition to the above to complete the major. (The Biology major requires a minimum of 40 hours, at least 20 upper-level, of BIO/HRP courses.)

A minor is required. A chemistry or mathematics minor is strongly recommended for most careers in Biology. However, students are free to minor in any area. Other useful minors for Biology students include psychology, business, or physical education.

The institution that is now William Carey University had its earliest origins in Poplarville, Mississippi, when the noted educator W. I. Thames opened Pearl River Boarding School in 1892. As did many institutions of its day, Pearl River Boarding School offered “elementary, preparatory and some college work. Operating for decades as Mississippi Woman's College, the institution was renamed in honor of the founder of modern missions in 1954 when the school became coeducational.
