Overview

From your very first course, Biology engages you in authentic science! Our curriculum starts by involving you in discovering what influences West Nile virus in mosquitoes in a research course. Open-ended, project-based labs and active-learning classrooms build skills in experimental design, data analysis, scientific writing, presentations, problem-solving, synthetic thinking, teamwork, and research ethics. Capstone courses and summer and academic-year research opportunities involve you in real research projects with faculty mentors. The B.A. degree in Biology provides the same comprehensive core, research experience and capstone as the B.S. degree, but its two tracks are tailored to be compatible with a second major (Biology Professions track) or with the requirements of professional schools in such allied health areas as nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant, occupational therapy, pharmacy, or optometry (Health Professions track). Students choosing the Biology Professions track need an additional major in a complementary area such as environmental studies, neuroscience, physics, mathematics, computer science, business, etc. Students seeking a degree in Secondary Education can complete a second major in Biology by choosing this track. Students planning to continue to graduate programs in the biological sciences or to medical, dental or veterinary programs should consider the B.S. degree in Biology instead. Choose advanced courses in five curriculum tracks to prepare yourself for any life-science career. Biology majors can go straight to the workforce or continue to graduate or professional programs. Diverse career opportunities include research, medicine and health professions, secondary education, pharmaceutical development, environment, veterinary medicine, public health, scientific writing or illustration, medical labs, forensics, and many more.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
