The Department of Biology offers an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree with a pathway in Agriculture, an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree in Agriculture with a focus in Poultry Science, an Associate of Science (A.S.) degree with a pathway in Natural Sciences and courses related to Biology, and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Biology. The B.S. degree is offered on both the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses. Students may begin their B.S. degree on any UNG campus but must complete the program on either the Dahlonega or Gainesville campuses. In addition to courses, the department offers advisement for application to a variety of graduate and professional programs (e.g., biology, medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, physician assistant, and respiratory therapy). Students should consult their academic advisor for assistance in choosing courses that both comply with degree requirements for a major in Biology and meet the admission requirements for the graduate career or professional program in which they have an interest. Students interested in pursuing secondary education teacher certification in biology at the bachelor’s level should review the Biology Education (BSED)  offered through the College of Education.
