Bachelor's Degree in Biology

Baldwin City Campus

Baker Biology students have the best of two worlds. As one of the larger departments in a small, liberal arts setting, biology classes are small enough for personal recognition and individualization, yet large enough to be academically competitive.

Baker Biology students are privy to endless resources in and out of the classroom. Students don't have to wait in line to use the state-of-the-art equipment, and Baker's outdoor facilities include the Baker Wetlands, the Ivan L. Boyd Arboretum and other outdoor areas for research and observation.

Students majoring in Biology are trained as general biologists with a broad background in cell and molecular biology, physiology, organismal biology and ecology. Baker biology students go on to become successful physicians, dentists, optometrists, veterinarians, pharmacists, researchers, teachers, park rangers, natural resource managers, environmental consultants and attorneys.

A degree in Biology can lead to a number of careers requiring only a baccalaureate degree. In addition, it provides an excellent basis for graduate training in biology and in preparation for professions in the medical field.
