Biology students will gain a breadth of understanding in biology and an opportunity to
explore many specialized areas in greater depth. The concentration establishes a core
of fundamental knowledge in biological and related sciences. Students then build on
this foundation through a variety of … courses that explore areas within biology
from the basic level to current research topics. The BA in biology prepares
students for employment as well as for professional training in research,
medicine, education, government, and industry
(from the Boston University Undergraduate Bulletin
online,
