As a biology major, will I receive a bachelor of science (BS) degree or a bachelor of arts (BA)?

Posted at 12:13 p.m. Jan. 24, 2013,

You will receive a BA. As a biology major (and the same is true for other science majors such as chemistry and physics), you are part of the College of Arts & Sciences and consequently you are required to complete the General Curricular Requirements in addition to the courses for your major. The bachelor of arts degree is a recognition of your broad training in a variety of fields, such as the social sciences, the humanities, and the arts. So be proud!
