具有自然历史学专业的生物学学士学位是为那些想要从事自然历史的技能和知识（户外或环境教育，解释，鉴定，实地研究）的学生而设计的。与生物学的学士学位相比，文学学士学位的化学，物理和数学课程更少，而上等课程的选修课程则更多，这为学生提供了更大的自由来设计自己的学习计划。攻读生物学学士学位的学生将无法满足大多数生物科学研究生课程或健康科学专业课程的最低入学要求。
The B.A. in Biology with Natural History Concentration is designed for students who want to pursue a career where skills and knowledge of natural history (outdoor or environmental education, interpretation, identification, field studies) are desirable. The B.A. has fewer courses in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics than the B.S. in Biology, and more upper division electives, providing students with greater latitude to design their own program of study. Students who pursue the B.A. in Biology will not meet the minimum requirements for admission to most graduate research programs in biological sciences or professional programs in the health sciences.<br><br>The B.A. degree requires that students complete all of the General Education Objectives described in the Academic Information section of this catalog. Students must also satisfy the core requirements listed below and the requirements of the Natural History Concentration. All graduates of this degree program will earn a B.A. in Biology regardless of the concentration selected.
