Welcome to the
Undergraduate Biology Program
at George Mason University

The Biology Program of George Mason University offers the undergraduate student a comprehensive yet liberal education in the biological sciences. With diverse interests in biology, the Departmental faculty teaches a broad range of courses. Student internships in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area are encouraged to supplement the student's University education. The Department offers field studies in plants, animals, and ecology, and it provides the background necessary for careers in many areas of biological science such as environmental management, microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, genetics, secondary education, and medical technology. Students are also prepared for advanced studies in the life sciences, medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and allied disciplines.

Each undergraduate degree program requires general education courses in nonscience areas as well as major requirements. The general education requirements include English composition, literature, and the social sciences. The B.A. degree places a greater emphasis on general education courses than do the B.S. degrees
