The
program leading to a B.S. degree in Biology is designed to provide
maximum depth in the sciences and mathematics with less opportunity
for free electives. Students who plan to attend graduate school or
professional schools, such as those in human or veterinary medicine,
most often choose this program of studies.
Further,
the B.S. degree in Biology automatically qualifies a student for
a minor in chemistry and thus represents more than adequate preparation
for employment opportunities that require expertise in both biology
and chemistry.
The
program leading to the B.A. degree in Biology is designed to allow
greater opportunity for free electives. This freedom could be used
to pursue interests in areas outside of biology, allowing for a
more broadly based Liberal Arts education. Alternatively, the B.A.
degree student would have the flexibility to pursue in depth (to
minor in or perhaps even to double major in) another discipline.
A Biology major combined with other sciences such as Biochemistry,
Computer Science, Chemistry, Physics, Geoscience, Mathematics, or
Psychology, or disciplines such as Art, English, Business, or a
foreign language can make attractive packages for the student and
for potential future employers.
