CAREER OPTIONS<br />

Graduates of the <strong>College</strong> who have majored in Biology typically pursue careers in teaching, pharmacy,<br />

medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or physical therapy. In addition, many graduates find employment<br />

in industry—some in laboratories, some in management, and others in research and development. Most<br />

careers require further formal study in graduate or professional schools.<br />

COMBINED B.A. AND M.A.T PROGRAM OF STUDY<br />

Undergraduate students who meet the admission requirements for the Master of Arts in Teaching [M.A.T]<br />

(passing GACE Basic Skills or a combined SAT score of more than 1000) and those who have a GPA of 3.0 or<br />

higher in their <strong>undergraduate</strong> studies are eligible to participate in a combined B.A. and M.A.T. program of<br />

study after the completion of 90 semester hours. Once accepted, candidates may take entering cohort graduate<br />

courses during the Summer Semester following their junior year of study. Upon gaining senior status,<br />

candidates may take one (1) three-credit graduate course during the Fall, Interim, and Spring Semesters<br />

only if enrolled with twelve (12) <strong>undergraduate</strong> credits.<br />

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS (BIOL)<br />
