Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Biology] From Lafayette College

The bachelor of science (BS) curriculum is broader in basic sciences, and it allows the student ample opportunity to explore advanced areas in biology?(suggested BS course schedule).?The bachelor of arts (AB) curriculum combines a solid background in biology with increased opportunity for the student to explore other fields of study?(suggested AB course schedule).?Although either degree will prepare the student for a variety of career paths, the BS curriculum is most popular among students planning to pursue graduate degrees in biology.?Historically, each curriculum has been taken by equal numbers of students planning careers in the health professions. Students who are undecided about which curriculum to pursue are advised to begin with the BS curriculum; this will assure an easy transition to the AB curriculum if the student so desires.
