BA IN Biology
College of Arts and Sciences
Biology Department
Study a wide range of biological topics in the classroom, the laboratory and the field.
From tracking tiny molecules to examining entire ecosystems, you’ll engage in the process of science by studying a wide range of biological topics in the classroom, the laboratory and the field. You’ll use these experiences to apply learning to real scientific questions and to understand the impact of science on society.
We offer both a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science degree in biology. The BA offers an increased level of flexibility for students who are interested in double-majoring, minoring, or planning to spend a year abroad. For those who are interested in teaching (K-12), scientific writing or a career in law, a BA in science creates the chance to do more courses in education, political science, philosophy, and other fields.
Facilities
Rogers Hall features dynamic, interactive classrooms and lab space, a vibrant state-of-the-art greenhouse and an exterior green wall in the shape of a double helix. The sustainability of the building itself demonstrates the environmental conservation that's taught within its walls.
Our greenhouse, animal room, cell culture lab, and microbiology spaces are dynamic lab spaces where students and faculty immerse themselves in work that addresses a wide array of biological questions.
Faculty
Our experienced faculty are passionate about their field. With their extensive knowledge and background, they are prepared to work closely with you as you pursue a degree in biology. Meet your professors.

Faculty-Student Relationships
Students work closely with faculty on course-embedded research projects throughout the curriculum due to small class sizes. Students have the opportunity to engage in a wide array of ongoing collaborative research projects with individual faculty outside of the classroom through independent study projects, senior capstone experiences and summer. Students completing this research have opportunities to present their research at regional and national conferences, as well as the potential to publish their work in QUEST, the Queens Undergraduate Research Journal, or in international biological journals.
