Biology is a wide-open field of study; think of it as an umbrella covering a myriad of disciplines including environmental science, plant biology, evolution, health science and more. A B.A. with major in Biology degree at UVM is flexible enough to allow students to focus on a major concentration, or to take courses in a broad variety of subfields and graduate as a generalist.
Academic advisors will later help students pick appropriate courses in one or more of these disciplines:
- Pre-Professional preparation for students wishing to pursue careers in human or veterinary medicine, dentistry, public health, or other health-related fields.
- Environmental biology, including ecology, animal behavior, and evolution.
- Cell and molecular biology, including developmental biology, biotechnology, and molecular genetics.
- Neurobiology for students who do not wish to major in neuroscience, but still want a series of courses in that discipline.
