Requirements For: B.A. Major – 59 hours, 2.0 GPA
The Bachelor of Arts in Biology degree trains students to be a professional biologist broadly trained in Biology. This major is ideally paired with a supporting minor or second major to prepare the student in several career paths, such as: laboratory assistant, research assistant, education, scientific communication, quality control assurance, pharmaceutical sales or management of science-based businesses, and biospatial analysis. Based upon career interests, students will need to seek academic advisement for assistance with selecting minor and/or a secondary major. To complete the major, students will need to focus on completing courses within the core curriculum in years one and two while focusing on the completion of elective courses within years three and four.
