THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE
A foundation of liberal education forms the guiding framework of all academic programs for undergraduate students on the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities campus. A liberal education allows students to explore the modes of inquiry and subject matter within the major branches of knowledge. To earn a bachelor of science degree in the College of Biological Sciences, students must successfully complete at least 120 credits, including courses in the social sciences and humanities, history, chemistry, physics and math, as well as in the biological sciences. Students with B.S. degrees from the College of Biological Sciences have the academic foundation needed for a variety of careers in industry, education, government and other fields, and are well prepared for further study in graduate or professional schools.
