What is the difference between a B.S. and a B.A. in Biology?
The Bachelor of Science in Biology degree requires students to take an additional two semesters of Organic Chemistry, both the lecture and the lab, whereas the Bachelor of Arts in Biology does not. Students in the B.S. program are also required to take two semesters of physics, both the lecture and lab, whereas the Bachelor of Arts in Biology does not.
Students interested in medical school, dental school, Ph.D. programs, or any other professional program (i.e., PT programs or PA programs) are advised to pursue the B.S. degree, as it ensures that students will complete all of their pre-req courses and will be ready to apply without having to take courses outside of their major.
