Build your own program! If you're interested in sciences but want to customize your program to match your special interests, you may want to consider an Individualized Studies Major. For example, maybe you'd like a minor in Biology along with a minor in Political Science and aminor in Environment and Society to prepare you for a career in sustainable community development.
A note about Pre-Professional studies (e.g., “pre-med”): Our biology program is an excellent way to prepare for entry into Medical School, Dental School, Veterinary School, Optometry School, Pharmacy School, and other professional studies programs. Biology students work with a pre-professional advisor to select the classes that best suit their needs while providing a well-rounded Biology degree. We have a good record of placing students in top-ranked professional schools.
