The Bachelor of Science in Biology degree is intended for students who plan to a) enter graduate studies in biology or related fields, or b) enter health professional schools in medicine, dentistry, veterinary, pharmacy, or related fields. This degree differs from the Bachelor of Arts in content depth and optimal preparation for professional careers. It is highly recommended that students compare these degree requirements with the admissions requirements of the schools to which they plan to apply, as some variation may occur. Department advisors will work closely with students in this major to help them meet those requirements.
