Academic Programs A major in biology is the traditional undergraduate preparation for students planning to pursue career interests in the biological or health-related sciences.
Although the majority of majors ultimately pursue careers in the life sciences, a significant number of individuals with other career interests choose the major within the liberal arts context. The department’s majors are found today in positions of responsibility in many fields outside the life sciences, including business, theology, law, and the performing arts.
