Stony Brook University's College of Arts and Sciences offers both Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees in Biology. Both tracks provide a strong foundation in chemistry, mathematics, and physics, and introduce students to the breadth and depth of biology through foundational coursework and inquiry-based labs. The BS program requires advanced specialization and lab work, making it suitable for those pursuing scientific or research careers, including graduate studies. The BA program requires fewer advanced biology courses and instead mandates a non-overlapping minor in another art, humanities, or social science field, ideal for students interested in combining biology with other disciplines such as fine arts or communication. Both programs offer excellent preparation for health professions and technical positions in industry or government. 来源： https://www.stonybrook.edu/commcms/biology/advising/_pdfs/Bio%20info%20pak%2006-2025%20.pdf
