Bachelor of Arts in Biology

SUNY New Paltz

The Biology program at New Paltz offers students excellent preparation for graduate school, medical school, or a career in industry or one of the many allied health fields. Our faculty-mentored research opportunities are unparalleled, and our modern, research-quality instrumentation enables students to pursue every interest from molecular signaling and environmental conservation to neurophysiology and animal behavior. Within the Biology curriculum, students may choose one of five tracks, one leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree and four leading to a Bachelor of Science degree: Biology (BA degree track), Cellular Biology (BS degree track), Environmental Biology (BS degree track), Integrative Biology (BS degree track), Organismal Biology (BS degree track). We also offer a minor in Biology and contribute to the university's interdisciplinary programs in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, and Evolutionary Studies. The Departments of Biology and Chemistry collaborate to offer an interdisciplinary major in Biochemistry leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.
