BA-MSci Dual Degree Program

For students majoring in Biology

 

The Dual Degree program is a high quality five-year program designed for students who wish to pursue further graduate studies such as doctoral programs and for those who wish to be gainfully employed in work in the natural or physical sciences upon graduation.

By achieving two degrees in a shorter period than traditionally possible in some of the MBS disciplines, students can benefit from an enriching research experience beyond what they would achieve by completing a BA alone.

 


Entrance Requirements:

Applicants must be biology majors, have junior or senior status, and minimum overall GPA of 3.1. Qualified students will be admitted to the Dual Program (as "Dual Program majors") based upon the recommendation of the faculty (3 letters of recommendation). Students will be accepted into the Dual Program as juniors or seniors, and, subject to their satisfactory performance, are subsequently accepted into the graduate school upon completion of the BA degree.
