Бакалавр биологии

The biology major at UNG is a versatile program that allows you to explore the biological sciences as a whole, while also diving into specialty areas of the field.

While there are courses all biology majors are required to take, there is flexibility in the curriculum to choose courses that will help you work toward your career goals. For example, if you want to study wildlife management in graduate school, you could choose elective courses in ornithology and conservation biology. If you're interested in a professional program, then you could take upper-level electives that satisfy the admissions requirements for your dream program.

By the time you graduate, you'll have had the opportunity to volunteer in the community, found friends who love science as much as you, and even completed undergraduate research one-on-one with a professor in fields like microbiology or marine biology.

The University of North Georgia is part of the University System of Georgia and is designated as a State Leadership Institution and The Military College of Georgia.

History of UNG

In early 2012, the University System of Georgia's Board of Regents recommended the consolidation of North Georgia College & State University, which was founded in 1873 in Dahlonega, Georgia, and Gainesville State College, which was founded in 1964 in Gainesville, Georgia. The consolidation became official on January 8, 2013, creating the University of North Georgia (UNG), with four campuses across northeast Georgia.

In August 2015, UNG opened an additional campus in Blue Ridge, Georgia, to serve students in the northernmost region of the state.
