Program Description
Molecular and cell biologists study the building blocks of living organisms. The Bachelor of Arts in Molecular and Cellular Biology is designed for students who wish to use their knowledge of biology in careers outside the laboratory including science policy, communication, informatics, business, education, public health, and law. Students take courses in biology, genetics, chemistry, bioethics, writing and more. The BA in MCB complements our existing BS in MCB and allows students to customize their studies by completing a minor or double major in their secondary field of interest.
