Biology (Arts) BA

Effective for the Fall 2018 semester, Stony Brook University is now offering a B.A. in Biology degree. Completion of the major in Biology B.A. requires a minimum of 55 credits in life science coursework, along with an 18-24 credit non-overlapping, approved minor in the College of Arts and Sciences or the School of Communication and Journalism. The minor must have no more than a 3 credit overlap with the life science requirements for the Biology B.A. The Biology B.A. provides an option for students interested in careers that build on foundational knowledge in the life sciences, but who also have strong interests in areas such as the fine arts, humanities, or social sciences.
