Why Choose the Biological Sciences Program?

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) curriculum allows for more versatility than the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) curriculum. This degree provides for a substantial foundation in the biological and physical sciences, while a large number of non-science electives allow students to meet their individual educational objectives. The B.A. degree is a great option for transfer students to consider because it is so flexible.
