Undergraduate Degrees
& Programs
OVERVIEW
The objective of the department is to provide the undergraduate
student with a broad background in the biological sciences and adequate supporting
strength in the physical sciences. Accordingly, most of the B.S. programs
listed here are structured around a combined major/minor sequence. In addition,
students can follow their interests through their elective courses.
The Department strongly supports a student’s desire to enhance his/her educational experience by pursuing additional majors and minors. However, once a student has declared his/her major in one of the majors offered by the Department (BA, BS in biology, BCAMB, or Human Biology), the student may not pursue a second major in another program within the department. Should there be an extenuating circumstance requiring an exception to this policy, the student MUST take at least 24 additional credits for the second major.
The department also offers programs leading to the M.S. and the Ph.D.
in which the graduate student is able to obtain an in-depth professional education
in one of several more restricted areas of biological sciences.
